If you were to describe God’s Kingdom in one word what would it be?
Take a moment and actually think about it. If a friend were to come up to you and say, “I’ve heard about this Kingdom of God – what’s it really like?” How would you choose to describe it? What picture would you paint?
In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – Jesus consistently shares a picture of God’s Kingdom that is compelling, inviting, and challenging all in one. He says God’s Kingdom is like a party.
That’s right, a party. Think about it – Jesus’ first miracle was at a wedding. He says often that the Kingdom of God is like a party, a feast, a wedding, or a celebration. For Jesus, a good picture of the Kingdom is a party, great get-together, or a celebration.
What a great picture.
The question is – “What is it about a party that reveals God’s Kingdom?”
That’s what we’re going to explore on Sunday. But I’d love your ideas and thoughts ahead of time! Comment or email me.

Here are Tony’s thoughts on the kingdom of God. This is old, however still relevant. It excites me to think of the kingdom of God as a party both here now on earth and also in the future in heaven.
I’m going to have to check out that sermon – I love Tony’s speaking
