WE continue to struggle with the war raging between living for ourselves or living for the kingdom of God.
God's word says to seek His kingdom and His righteousness.
"On the increase of his government there shall be no end." - God
Whose government? Jesus
What does it mean to us? That, as we live Christ, we can effectively govern and administrate things
Where does this apply? Everywhere! From our marriages and families to our churches and clubs to our business and even civic government?
But, these things experience so many challenges! Couples divorce, families fight, churches split, club member argues, businesses cheat employees and customers, and government.. well, let's not even go there!
When is the time to get governance right for these things? NOW!

3.
4.
5. “There is woven inside each of us a desire for something more – a craving to be part of something bigger, greater, and more profound than our meaningless existence.“
7. God purposed that the borders of our vision would be much, much larger than the boundaries of our lives. Engage us Excite us Connect us Satisfy us
8. Sin can cause us to talk about MORE, but settle for LESS We are capable of fighting for what has little value while forgetting things that have transcendent values
9. “Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us.” Hebrews 12:1
10. Replace Kingdom of Self Kingdom of God Being Right Being Served Power Possessions Being Kind Joy of Serving Character Spiritual Blessings
11. Our lives are shaped by the war b/t Kingdom of God & Kingdom of Self.
12. Kingdom = A realm or sphere in which one thing is dominant.
13. Little Kingdom Living Earth bound treasures Matt. 6:19-24 Anxiety bound need Matt. 6:25-34 Self is always @ the center!
14. God has a better way! Col. 1:13-14 On the cross Christ broke the power of the little kingdom On the cross Christ paidthedebt The cross guarantees someday the conflict between kingdom of self and kingdom of God will be over Big kingdom living means living with Christ as the center of everything I think, desire, say, and do.
