What IS the Kingdom of Heaven? | Advancing the Kingdom – GoodLion Theology Class #1
Welcome to the GoodLion theology class, a brand new segment on the show where we bring you rich theological lessons and thoughtful discussions with our students! In part one of our 6 part mini series on “Advancing the Kingdom of God”, Aaron Salvato teaches a lesson on defining what the Kingdom of Heaven actually is. If we are going to understand HOW to advance God’s Kingdom, we need to actually grasp WHAT it is, and what it isn’t! Aaron walks us through a theological framework for how we can understand the Kingdom, setting the stage for the next 5 lessons. Students and CGN/GoodLion interns Julianne Foster and Kai Willbanks join in on the discussion, bringing some great questions.
In this class we look at questions like
- When Jesus taught us to pray “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven, what did He mean?
- Should Christians focus on Heaven, or Earth?
- How can we begin to advance the Kingdom?
- What part does prayer play in this mission?
- And more!

How does a Kingdom advance normally? Through the sword. Violence, war, and bloodshed. Jesus’ Kingdom is much different. The Kingdom of Heaven does not advance through the sword, but rather through something much more powerful: preaching and the Gospel. It advances in this way: by converting one […]

In the New Testament, Christians are called to be in the world but not of the world. In other words, we are called to live in society and interact with others while maintaining our distinctiveness. When we turn away from those who are broken or make choices […]

This world is not our home. It was never intended to be. We are pilgrims here on earth and we should live as such. The problem that has arisen is that many Christians have become escapists instead of pilgrims. They see the world as a hostile place, […]

Fear is the enemy of love. The idols of safety and security can push us to live the Christian life from a posture of fear. If we are to advance the Kingdom of God, we must realize that we are called to a radical way of love […]
