Trailblazers – Walking the Path of Commitment
In our Trailblazers series, we’re exploring what it means to go “all in” for Jesus and His mission. Just like trailblazers forge paths for others, we’re called to commit fully to following Christ, serving others, and building His Kingdom. This series serves as the foundation for our membership class, and we’d love for all our regular attenders to join us each week as we take this important journey together. Let’s walk the path of faith, purpose, and commitment as a church family!
Day 1: The Kingdom of God is a Present Reality
The Kingdom of God is not merely a distant hope but a present reality that believers are invited to participate in. It begins with the transformative act of salvation, which is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, not something that can be earned through human effort. This understanding shifts the focus from striving to receive God’s favor to living in the grace already given. As believers, recognizing the Kingdom’s presence in daily life encourages a life of active faith, where one is continually aware of God’s work in and through them. This perspective invites believers to live with purpose, knowing that their actions contribute to the unfolding of God’s Kingdom here and now.
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17, ESV)
Reflection: In what ways can you actively participate in the Kingdom of God today, recognizing it as a present reality in your life?
