Kingdom Incarnate Part 1

Kingdom Incarnate Part 1 invites students to encounter Jesus through the vivid and personal lens of the Gospels, with a focus on how the life and ministry of Christ reveal the heart of the Kingdom of God. This course explores the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Luke, guiding students to both see and know Jesus more deeply.

In John, we examine the seven miraculous signs that unveil Jesus as the incarnate Son of God—each miracle a window into the divine nature and mission of Christ. These signs serve as anchors for reflection and revelation, helping us grasp the power and presence of the Kingdom in our everyday lives.

In Luke, we are drawn into a relational journey, as the gospel invites us to walk closely with Jesus through spiritual practices that shape and sustain discipleship. Students will engage with themes like Bible reading, prayer, generosity, forgiveness, and celebration—not merely as disciplines, but as pathways to intimacy with Jesus and transformation in His Kingdom.

This course ‘Kingdom Incarnate – Part 1’ is based on the sixth series in an eight part series that breaks His Story into eight sections. The eight sections are: Kingdom Revealed, Kingdom Rebellion, Kingdom Covenant, Kingdom Foreshadowed, Kingdom Coming, Kingdom Incarnate, Kingdom Tension, and Kingdom Consummated. In Kingdom Incarnate, Jesus arrives on the scene, fully God and fully man. He inaugurates the Kingdom by living the perfect, sinless life that none of us could and then willingly exchanging His life for ours at the cross. In the cross and resurrection Jesus defeats the power of sin and the power of death. Although defeated at the cross, the enemy refuses to surrender and continues to cause chaos and destruction on the planet.
