“Proclaiming the Kingdom” – is a Bible Study lesson designed to engage the believer, that God is bigger than church work which has its place but rather/in addition - God is most focused on the work of the Kingdom at large. Our job is to expand the church through the power of operating according to Kingdom: principles, purpose, and practice.

These are scriptures that reveal the - Plan of the Kingdom of God:
