Thirty Words, Part 4: Set Up God’s Kingdom

We all feel the pull to have it our way—with our families, our schedules, our futures. But if we’re honest, even our best attempts at self-rule often leave us tired, anxious, or frustrated. Deep down, most of us long for a bigger story, a wiser way to live, and a community that helps us flourish rather than compete. In Part 4 of our Thirty Words series, we’re exploring Jesus’ most frequent topic—the Kingdom of God—and what it means for everyday people right now. The “kingdom” Jesus talked about isn’t castles and crowns but a living reality you can step into today—a new way of life where God’s wisdom, love, and justice take root in real time and begin reshaping your world from the inside out.
