Kingdom Preppers Week 1

Pastor Sam begins a new series called 'Kingdom Preppers,' clarifying that it's not about end times preparation but about being prepared to live out God's kingdom purpose in the present. He emphasizes that our lives are on loan from God - we are stewards, not owners. Everything we have, including our abilities, resources, marriages, and careers, are assets meant to expand God's kingdom on earth. Pastor Sam outlines five components of any kingdom: a king (Jesus), territory (human hearts and lives), citizens (believers as ambassadors), law/moral code (the Bible), and an army (believers as spiritual warriors). He challenges the congregation to develop intentional kingdom plans, just as they prepare for retirement, careers, and other life goals.
