The Gospel of the Kingdom

The Gospel (or Good News) of the Kingdom, is the hope of humankind! But sadly, traditional Christianity has reduced the message of the gospel to only the story about the person of Jesus Christ. While Jesus is absolutely intrinsic to the gospel, it was not His primary message when he walked on the earth! Rather he came preaching and teaching about the Kingdom of God--the coming government of God on earth. Learn more about this in this sermon.

John has served as an employee of the United Church of God in a variety of media-related responsibilities and as a senior writer for Beyond Today magazine.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1973. He also received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology at Ambassador College, Pasadena, California in 1978. John was ordained an elder in 1994 and serves in the Cincinnati, Ohio congregations.
