And God's house, I'm going to give a little recap of where we started last week and then

we'll go further this week.

I'm passionate about this series.

I'm so, so passionate about it because I'll tell you that there are two things that really

trouble me greatly, two things that, that trouble me.

One is kingdom illiteracy.

We are well versed in church, but we are ignorant in the kingdom.

And the kingdom is actually what Jesus preached.

Jesus did not preach church.

Hello.

Jesus did not preach, quote unquote, Christianity.

Jesus preached kingdom.

If you study the scripture every time Jesus opened his mouth, this thing, this mysterious

thing called the kingdom, rolled out of his lips.

And I'm afraid there are two things that concern me greatly, kingdom illiteracy.

And then also the blindness that comes from dogma and legalism.

So we got two blindness.

One level of blindness is kingdom illiteracy and that blindness is based on ignorance.

And then we have the other blindness and that blindness is based on pride.

And that's where we get legalism and dogma and religious dogma.

And I think that you can always tell when God is up to something, when the church is

arguing with itself more than society is.
