Jesus spoke constantly about the Kingdom of God—the Kingdom of Heaven. It is written more than 126 times throughout the Gospels, He refers to it in different ways. Clearly, the Kingdom mattered deeply to Him. Again and again, Jesus would begin by saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…”, and then He would paint a picture through telling stories. The stories Jesus told help us connect spiritual truth with real life so we can understand truth in a personal way. We remember them. We see ourselves in them.
The current series is about how we are to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom while waiting in anticipation for Christ’s return. Jesus told a story about maids waiting for the Bridegroom to arrive to help us have the right attitude of patience and dependence in the time of waiting. (Matthew 25:1-13)
