Jesus talked about one thing more than anything else: the Kingdom of God. But for most of us, that idea feels distant, abstract, even irrelevant to everyday life. In this powerful and wide-ranging talk, Dr. Scott Powell pulls that concept back into focus, showing how the story of Scripture from Genesis to the Gospels is really the story of two competing kingdoms. One is built on power, control, and self-preservation. The other is built on sacrifice, communion, and self-gift. Through the fall of Adam and Eve, the rise of empires, and the life of Christ, Dr. Powell reveals what it actually means to live under God’s reign and why Christianity was never meant to be just “me and Jesus.” Because the Kingdom isn’t an idea. It’s a reality you’re invited to live: right where you are. And it starts with the people in front of you.
