True Disciples Bear Kingdom Fruit

February 2, 2020

Matthew 7:15-20 — At the end of his sermon Jesus presents the two gates, the two ways, two kingdoms. There is a choice to be made. There are only two gates and two ways. There is no middle road. There is no compromise. There is no sitting on the fence. Which way is it going to be, the kingdom of Satan or the kingdom of God, the prevailing world culture, or the Christian counter-culture? There is only one gate and way to enter into and to live in God’s kingdom.

This is part of our series, Living the Kingdom Life, based on the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7.
