Book, Series, & Study, “The Time Has Come: New Kingdom Life for a New Year”
Rev. Dr. Peter Moon’s new book, Sunday school study, and weekly sermons are grounded in Jesus’ claim that the time has come, the kingdom is near, and we will follow his guidance to “seek first the kingdom of God.” Each week, January 11-February 15, will offer a reminder of the priority of the kingdom in Jesus’ ministry and the opportunities for personal and churchwide renewal when we, like him, seek this kingdom first.
