The Ways of the Kingdom (Part II)

When we encourage others, we help them to believe in the work of God in their lives and to take Him at His word. The encouragement can bring God’s purpose on the earth and fulfill His plans. …
Insecurities make us rely on others’ approval to gauge our value and worth. They also create unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others. This makes a fragile system for our sense of wellbeing because there is no room for failure, mistake, or weakness.

The Lord sent Jesus to declare the good news about His eternal Kingdom and the way to enter it! This hope of eternal life should make a difference in how we live our lives as believers. …
The kingdom of God is an everlasting kingdom, and as believers, we have the privilege of belonging to the Lord and His kingdom. What is the significance of this kingdom and how should that change our perspective as a Christian!? …
