Old Testament prophecies spoke of a Messiah that would come and establish a kingdom. The Jews assumed that this king, this Messiah, would come and establish an earthly kingdom to rule and conquer at will. What they didn't expect was that when Jesus came, He came to establish an eternal kingdom acquired by service and love. In "Tales of the Kingdom," we take a closer look at Jesus' parables.

When Jesus instructed us in Luke 10:25-37 to love our neighbor as ourselves, what did he mean? How far do we have to go?

Learn to identify which needs have our name on it, and how to make sure we keep a healthy balance between pursuing our relationship with Christ and pursuing meeting the needs of others.
