  Kingdom Incarnate Part 1December 6, 2024

  At Keys Vineyard Church, we are presenting a series called ‘Kingdom Incarnate,’ which we post here on Online Bible Institute.

  We are starting a new series this week called ‘Kingdom Incarnate’. This series endeavors to teach us to ‘see’ and ‘know’ Jesus in the gospels.

  To truly grasp God’s story, we must view it through the lens of Jesus Christ. John 1:14 provides the foundation for this understanding:

  John 1:14 (NIV)
  14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

  This profound truth shifts our perception of God’s narrative, offering a tangible revelation of His character and heart through the life and ministry of Jesus.

  When the Word became flesh, God Himself stepped into human history. Jesus, fully divine and fully human, bridged the infinite gap between heaven and earth, making the intangible God accessible. This act reveals the depth of God’s love for humanity. Through Jesus, we don’t just hear about God’s glory—we see it. He is the embodiment of God’s story, fulfilling centuries of promises and prophecies. Jesus doesn’t simply teach the truth; He is the truth. He doesn’t just demonstrate grace; He is the source of all grace.

  This revelation reshapes not only how we read Scripture but also how we understand life itself. Through Jesus, we learn what God truly values. Grace, often seen in His forgiveness and compassion for sinners, reflects His boundless mercy. Truth, evident in His teachings and unwavering commitment to His mission, shows us the stability and reliability of God’s Word. Humility, displayed as Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and ultimately went to the cross, teaches us the servant-hearted nature of God’s kingdom. Sacrificial love, seen most profoundly in His death on the cross, reveals God’s lengths to redeem and restore His creation.

  Understanding God’s story through Jesus gives us clarity and direction. It invites us to align our lives with these divine values, transforming our relationship with God and how we interact with the world. Jesus is the lens through which the glory of God becomes visible, and through Him, life takes on eternal meaning and purpose.

  This weekend at Keys Vineyard Church, we will discuss all this and more, so be sure to join us in person or online.

  Kingdom Coming Part 11November 29, 2024

  At Keys Vineyard Church, we are presenting a series called ‘Kingdom Coming,’ which we post here on Online Bible Institute.

  We are concluding our Kingdom Coming series by talking about a highway called the Way of Holiness.

  Isaiah 35:8–10 (NIV)
  8 And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. 9 No lion will be there, nor any ravenous beast; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, 10 and those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

  Isaiah 35:8-10 paints a vivid picture of hope and restoration, describing a highway that leads God’s people back to Zion—a symbol of homecoming and reconciliation with God. This highway called the “Way of Holiness,” is not a road paved by human effort but one prepared by God Himself. It is reserved for the redeemed, those rescued by His grace, who walk in obedience and faithfulness. This sacred path offers safety, joy, and a sure destination for all who follow it, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises.

  During this Christmas season, we celebrate the arrival of Jesus, who is not only the one who makes this highway possible but who is Himself the Way (John 14:6). His birth marked the beginning of humanity’s journey out of spiritual exile. In Him, God provided the means for sinners to be reconciled and brought home. Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, the estrangement caused by sin is healed. He bridges the gap between a holy God and a broken world, leading us into the joy of a restored relationship with the Father.

  The theme of exile and homecoming runs throughout Scripture, shaping the story of redemption. Humanity’s exile began in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the world and severed our relationship with God. Since that moment, the longing for home has been woven into the human experience—a yearning for the presence and peace of God. The history of Israel reflects this reality, as their physical exiles mirrored the spiritual separation all of humanity experiences because of sin. Yet Isaiah’s prophecy reminds us that exile is not the final word. God’s plan is one of restoration and return.

  Jesus came to fulfill this plan, offering Himself as the way back to the Father. On the “Way of Holiness,” we find reconciliation and transformation. As we walk this path, we are changed, becoming more like Christ and prepared for our ultimate home in God’s eternal presence. Isaiah’s vision culminates in joy, singing, and everlasting gladness—a reflection of the life promised to all who follow Jesus. At Christmas and beyond, we celebrate the One who came to guide us out of darkness and into the glorious light of home with God.

  This weekend at Keys Vineyard Church, we will discuss all this and more, so be sure to join us in person or online.
