Becoming Ready for the Kingdom of God

This message, given just before Pentecost, reminds us that we are called out now, as first fruits, for the Kingdom of God. Throughout all we endure in this human condition, we walk by faith, relying on God, knowing that all trials, all suffering, all joy, everything we experience is part of the process to develop and prepare us for God's soon-coming Kingdom.
