Series Emphasis: Christ is King. The gospel is a message about the King and the present availability of life in His Kingdom for those who believe and follow Him. To these He gives the power to become children of the King. The church is the family of God gathered, a training ground where the King's children are equipped to be His Ambassadors, as well as an outpost of the Kingdom across the globe. The mission of every Kingdom citizen is to become like the King taking His life-giving message to the world as we live and love like Him.
