(Sermon preached July 2, 2023) This sermon is the first in a series titled, “The Kindom of God: Among Us, Within Us,” which is the theme of the 2023 General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus says, “The Kingdom of God is Among us.” Other translations say, “within us,” and “in your midst.” The word “kindom” is not a replacement for the word “kingdom,” but rather an expression of the kinship that is at the heart of God’s kingdom.
