July 5, 2026 - The Curse-Free Kingdom - Dr. Jonathon Woodyard

<p>Dr. Jonathon Woodyard explores the concept of <strong>godly patriotism</strong> and the believer’s call to <strong>live on mission</strong> for Christ while awaiting His eternal reign,. Drawing from Acts 1:1-8, the sermon defines the <strong>Kingdom of God</strong> as God’s people in His place enjoying His presence—a <strong>“curse-free” kingdom</strong> that believers should yearn for more than any earthly comfort. While encouraging a posture of <strong>gratitude and “wholesome patriotism”</strong> for one’s country, the message emphasizes the necessity of <strong>“ordered loves,”</strong> ensuring that Christ remains the supreme treasure of the heart. Ultimately, Christians are called to be <strong>empowered witnesses</strong>, sharing the message of Jesus’ resurrection and the offer of forgiveness with a world in need.</p>
