The Kingdom Is Near

This sermon on Luke 10:1-20 focuses on Jesus's proclamation that the Kingdom of God is near. It explores how disciples, then and now, are sent as representatives to declare this truth, bringing God's reign and power through the Word. Evangelism is a continuous, holistic process for both believers and non-believers, delivered through various "words of peace"—be it hard truths, forgiveness, hope, encouragement, and prayer. Ultimately, the power rests not in the speaker, but in the transformative Word of God itself.
