Presentation Transcript

  1. The Kingdom of God Transcendence - “the state of being beyond and outside of the ordinary range of human experience” We were created to desire transcendence because we were designed for Glory (Genesis 1-2) • God’s Glory • Community Glory • Kingdom Glory

  2. The Kingdom of Self The great lie/deception we buy into takes place in Genesis 3. We exchange the Kingdom of God for the kingdom of self. With self as the center of this kingdom, we desire more but we always end up getting less Two “Tragedies” of living for this kingdom: • We “SHRINK” our lives to the size of our kingdom • We settle for “NORMAL”

  3. What is “Normal”: • You do stuff because you feel like it • You sleepwalk through routines • You live for the weekend • You talk about your future and live in the past • You treat people as a means to accomplish your goals • Your image doesn’t really match who you know yourself to be • Titles, things, and achievements fuel your sense of worth • You yearn for intimacy but few people actually know you • You never have enough
