A Story of the Kingdom

A group comes together a couple hours per week for several weeks. 其中一名成员是已经服完刑的罪犯. Another member is a district attorney. 在他们相处的最后，被定罪的罪犯给地方检察官施洗! 上帝的国度就是这样出现的——出乎意料，美丽，强大，甚至具有讽刺意味. God’s Spirit moved. Two people made a connection from different worlds. Their lives were transformed. 聚集在一起的社区发生了变化，这个故事在他们的教堂里产生了涟漪.

Can we “make” that happen? No, 但我们可以通过学习理解上帝的国度，让自己成为催化剂, allowing ourselves to be changed into Kingdom ambassadors, 寻找神的国度降临的途径，以及神的旨意在我们的教会中成就的途径, 弥合了教会与当今社会之间的文化鸿沟. Would you like to be that catalyst? Would you like to be a part of a mustard seed becoming a tree? 你愿意帮助别人在现在和将来找到那颗无价的珍珠，那就是神的国吗? 这就是变革部硕士的目的……
