malaman ko na kilala ko na siya?

• Jesus’ Life & Teaching• Implication for Disciple/Church• Examples of How These Could Be Lived Out

Jesus’ Life & TeachingMark 1:14-15 – After John had been put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee & told people the Good News of God. He said, "The time has come, & the kingdom of God is near. Change the way you think & act, & believe the Good News.”Lk 11:20 – But if I force out demons with the help of God's power, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Ushers in the Kingdom of God & focuses it around himself

Implications for Disciple/Church• Living Under the King• The Kingdom of God is central & extends in &

beyond the church to his entire cosmos.• We are agents of the Kingdom in all areas of life

common to human being. • Jesus is Lord/King!• We can live & work wherever we are & we can

expect the Kingdom to already be there.

Examples How To Live Out• When we are at work, we invite Jesus to

accompany us there. • We look for opportunities to enact Jesus’ qualities

while we are working. • We look for ways to mirror the work of God even

though the most mundane & everyday activities.
