Marketplace Kingdom 5.7--This Is What the Kingdom Looks Like

Stories have power. They take ideas, or truths, and dress them out
in real life flesh and circumstance. Jesus spent a lot of his time
telling stories. Parables. Chances are that many if not all of them
were based on actual events that he seen or heard about, with names
eliminated. But he always used them to make a point. To drive home
a deeper meaning about the nature of life and the Kingdom of God.
The four gospels and the book of Acts provide a powerful account of
Jesus’ own life and ministry, and those of some of his disciples.
But the accounts in the bible are also more than just stories. They
are the Word, and they carry power and truth in them as well…for
today. And now, as the Spirit of God moves through the homes and
offices and factories and worksites and streets of our world, the
story continues. His story. And ours. The story we can point to
when we tell people of the need to repent, stop, change direction
and be changed because this is happening. Now. The Kingdom of God
is at hand. In today’s episode of Marketplace Kingdom we’re going
to tell you a couple of stories. Because this is what Jesus is
doing today. Because this is what the Kingdom looks like.
