The Mystery and Magnitude of the Kingdom of Christ: What Every Revolutionary Must Know Mark 4:26-34
When you hear someone mention the Kingdom of God, you might think about something powerful, majestic and overwhelming. It must be something huge that arrests the attention of this world. Our first instinct is not to point to a farmer throwing some seed on the ground, going to bed, and getting up morning after morning to see if anything happens. In Mark 4, Pastor David points out that much of our frustration about living lackluster lives comes down to an issue of trust. Listen as Pastor David calls us to trust a Savior who chose to conquer, not in a grand military campaign, but on a cross.
What do a left-handed assassin (Judg 3:12-30) and a head crushing wife who is grotesquely handy with a tent peg and a hammer (Judg 4:17-22) have to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ? This is a dilemma with which every person preaching, teaching, or studying the book of Judges has to grapple. Pastor David’s essay titled Christ as Warrior King: Preaching Christ from Judges answers such a question.
