A moment in history.

On January 14, 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, ending the War for Independence. In the document, which was known as the Second Treaty of Paris because the Treaty of Paris was also the name of the agreement that had ended the Seven Years’ War in 1763, Britain officially agreed to recognize the independence of its 13 former colonies as the new United States of America.


STAY for fellowship after church and let’s break bread Together!


“THE KINGDOM OF GOD”

If someone asked you what is the kingdom of God, what would you say?

Jesus came to establish His Kingdom. The "Kingdom of God" is mentioned in the Scriptures in several different ways; Mark 1:14-15, and Luke 4:43 all refer to the "kingdom of Christ." Matthew 6:33 (NKJV), refers to "kingdom of God." Even though the exact wording differs between Christ, God, and heaven, all Scriptures embody the same concept with different aspects.

1. The rule of Jesus Christ on earth and in heaven

2. The blessings and advantages that flow from living under Christ's rule

3. The subjects of this kingdom, the Church

Just how important was the understanding of the Kingdom of God? John the Baptist used it often as he called for "repent, for the kingdom of God is near" (Matthew 3:2). Jesus himself not only said, "the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe" (Matthew 4:17), but he also used it when teaching his disciples how to pray "your kingdom come" (Matthew 6:10), in the Beatitudes "theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3 and 10). At the Last Supper, "I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God" (Mark 14:25). (https://www.christianity.com)

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." ~ Romans 14:17
