Understanding the Kingdom of God

Join Dave Scherrer from A Hundred Fold Ministries as he kicks off 2026 with a foundational exploration of the Kingdom of God. In this episode of Kingdom Offerings, Dave unpacks why understanding the gospel of the kingdom is central to the mission of Hundredfold Ministries—just as it was for the Apostle Paul and Jesus's disciples.Discover what a kingdom truly is, explore common misconceptions about God's kingdom, and learn about the essential elements that define it: a monarch, territory, people, sovereignty, laws, and shared culture. Dave explains how the Kingdom of God has existed since before creation and how we're invited to participate in its "now, but not yet" reality as we await Christ's return.Show Notes[0:00] Introduction: Our MissionWelcome to Kingdom Offerings 2026The mission of Hundredfold MinistriesFollowing Paul's example: proclaiming the Kingdom of GodWhy the gospel of the kingdom matters today[2:34] What is a Kingdom?Common misconceptions about God's kingdomWhy Americans struggle with kingdom conceptsThe need to understand foundational principles[4:10] Elements of a KingdomA monarchy: the need for a kingTerritory: the land of our heartsPeople: kingdom citizens and the churchSovereignty: God's supreme authorityLaws: divine administration and orderShared culture: traditions and customs[7:25] The Kingdom of God's TimelineThe kingdom existed before creationThe fall of humanity and creationLiving in the "now, but not yet"Our invitation to participate
