Summary

The world we live in has rebelled against its Creator. But God sent His Son to break into our dark, rebellious world with the light of His kingdom. He starts a new rebellion against the rebellious world to bring about complete restoration of everything. The rebels that belong to God's mission are His people, His church. They are called to manifest the light of the kingdom and to advance the agenda of the kingdom. But how well do individual believers and churches understand what all that really means? How well do they understand their role in the revolution that God started for His kingdom? Ed Stetzer's Subversive Kingdomis an accessible exploration into the biblical nature of the kingdom, an attainable theological framework of the kingdom, and a practical instruction for living out of the kingdom. He provides new insights and actionable ideas to those who are seeking to live right here and now according to kingdom values. Strongly emphasizing how the kingdom of God changes everything in a believer's life, the book engages the Christian's mind and heart with the doctrine of God's kingdom as it pertains to living fully in our relationship with Christ and engaging his mission on earth. Explore, advance, and live out the gospel in the subversive kingdom.
