Lesson 1

FAITH AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD


A. Introduction: Why is faith necessary?
Faith is the key to obtaining the riches of God for our lives today.
It is the key to building God's kingdom on this earth as it is heaven.

In heaven, God rules.
In heaven, the will of God is done.
In heaven, all the blessings of God are fully manifested.
The kingdom of God is already established in heaven.

To bring the kingdom of heaven to earth, we need faith in God's promises.
Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Without faith, we will not taste heaven on earth.
Without faith all the promises of God just remain empty words without substance in real life on this earth.
Without faith, all our preaching and claims are just so much hot air.
