This sermon goes into the theme of the year, “Manifesting the Kingdom of God,” urging believers to recognise the spiritual reality of God’s Kingdom within us. Drawing from key scriptures in Luke 17 and Matthew 12, the message emphasises that the Kingdom of God cannot be observed in physical terms but is a powerful presence that resides in the hearts of believers. The sermon challenges us to evaluate our priorities and attitudes, reminding us that merely being part of the Kingdom is not enough; we must actively manifest it in our lives.
Through the lens of biblical teachings, we explore the necessity of having a singular focus on the Kingdom, as illustrated by the parables of the treasure and the pearl. The sermon encourages us to place immense value on our relationship with Christ and to prioritise spiritual pursuits over worldly distractions. By embodying the principles of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, we can effectively demonstrate the Kingdom of God in our daily lives.
