Kingdom Made Simple

"The kingdom is near." Kingdom Made Simple is a Bible-first guide to the
gospel Jesus actually preached — the gospel of the kingdom of God
(Mark 1:14-15). Across fourteen Scripture-led chapters, Kimani Upshur,
M.Ed. walks through what the kingdom is, how Jesus announced it, how you
enter it through the new birth, seeking it first above all else, kingdom
values versus worldly values, the already-and-not-yet of God's reign, and
living as a heavenly citizen on ordinary days: the kingdom announced, what
the kingdom is (righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit), seeking
first the kingdom, the new birth, transferred out of darkness into the
kingdom of the Son, the Sermon on the Mount as the kingdom constitution,
the servant King, kingdom prayers ("Your kingdom come"), the kingdom
growing like a seed, the already and the not yet, daily citizenship, the
kingdom's heart for the poor, kingdom authority and the keys, and the
unshakable kingdom that will fill the whole earth (Daniel 2:44;
Revelation 11:15). Includes a 14-question kingdom-living appendix, a
conclusion, and a closing prayer. Prayer is Trinitarian throughout: to the
Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. No pop psychology, no
human systems — Scripture leads, and the King reigns.
