God’s Kingdom is coming in and through the works of Jesus, not by taking people away from this world, but by transforming things within this world, bringing the sphere of Earth into the presence and until the rule of Heaven itself.

The church aims to demonstrate and pray for the kingdom, but the way to join the kingdom fully is to become a part of the community of believers. So, the presentation of the kingdom should lead to the planting of the church, and the planting of the church should lead to further manifesting of the kingdom. The Church is who we are, and the kingdom is how we live. Church is the vehicle, and the kingdom is the result.
