Are you removing tension from your life by sacrificing the way of the Kingdom of God?

Today the guys conclude their series by exploring the final seven tensions between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world. By nature, the State is myopic, but the Kingdom of God is cosmopolitan. It is not enough to partner with the world in a Christian way. We are called to a separate way of life that intentionally puts us in tension with the governing world around us.

Are we easing the tension by compromising our allegiance?

Do we seek influence through power, or faithfulness through obedience?
Are we citizens who happen to be Christians, or ambassadors of another Kingdom who happen to live under earthly governments?

Are you ready to be challenged today?
Then tune in to today's episode of The After Class Podcast, because the best conversations happen after class.

As we continue exploring the contrast between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World, we begin asking the practical questions that expose where our true allegiance lies.

How do we speak about ourselves? Do we seek recognition, status, and influence—or do we quietly point others to Christ?

How do we treat the undeserving, the overlooked, and the downcast? Do we show the same honor to the poor that we readily give to the wealthy? Is wealth a prerequisite for influence, respect, or significance in our eyes?

Do we seek to lord our authority over others, or do we pursue greatness by becoming servants—even in the lowest and least visible places?

Do we follow the world's pattern of self-promotion, boasting, and ambition? Or do we follow the humble example of Christ, who emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and laid down His life for others?

Join us as we continue examining the radically different values of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World—and discover how the Gospel challenges not only what we believe, but how we live.

Jesus commands us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. But how should citizens of the Kingdom of God engage with the kingdoms of this world?
