38. RULERSHIP
or as commonly referred to as:
“The kingdom of God”
The phrase “kingdom of God” is too common to us
and has become religious noise.
The idea is the same:
God is the sovereign king
and He rules everything.
39. RULERSHIP
or as commonly referred to as:
“The kingdom of God”
The primary thing men rebel against is the
rule of God in their own lives. This is the
essence of sin: the rejection of God’s
rulership over us.

“Now in those days John the Baptist came,
preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
“Repent! For the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.”

“kingdom of heaven” occurs

45. From beginning to end,
the Bible is all about the
RULERSHIP
of God.
FACT:
48. WE ARE GOD’S STEWARDS
God has chosen us to rule with Him
on the Earth
Man is not autonomous. We will always be
under God’s rulership
Earth was made for man.
Nature (including animals) is not above
or equal to man.
49. WE ARE GOD’S STEWARDS
God has chosen us to rule with Him
on the Earth
We should not ask the question, “What is
God’s plan for my life?”
Instead, we should ask,
“How does my life fit in God’s plan?”
50. THE PROBLEM
Man wants to live outside of God’s
rulership and authority.
Man has rejected God’s rulership over
his life, and in doing so brings upon
ourselves a problem that only God can
solve.
