What Is the Kingdom of the Heavens?

The preaching of the gospel in the New Testament begins with the cry, “Repent for the Kingdom of the Heavens!” (Matt. 3:2, 4:17, 10:7). So, we repent and believe in Jesus not only to have our sins forgiven, but for the kingdom; that is, so God can have His kingdom, His ruling, on the earth today.

To really appreciate this, however, we need to have a basic understanding of what the kingdom of the heavens is. So in the first part of this program we consider, What is the kingdom of the heavens? Then in the second part we go on to consider what it means, practically speaking, to live in the reality of the kingdom.
