Action Church
Idea: From the beginning, Jesus resisted the ways of the kingdoms of this world. His was a different kind of Kingdom—nothing like the Kingdom of Israel.
TEMPTATION: An invitation to embrace self-interest
Jesus came to introduce something new to and for the world:
•New Covenant
•New Command
•New Movement
John the Baptist:

Mark 10:45 NIV
Luke 9:25 NIV
Power would be leveraged for the powerless.
Wealth would be leveraged for those in need.
Influence would be leveraged for those without a voice.
