Welcoming the Kingdom
Jesus’ disciples are questioned about fasting, and why at the moment they don’t fast. Jesus tells them of the new wine and the new wine skin. God is bringing about change, the new Kingdom is coming! God is moving, restoring, and creating. There is a new wine skin coming, that will fulfil the old and new wine that will fill it.
From Series: "Matthew - Your Kingdom Come"
In January 2021 we spent time reading through The Sermon on the Mount in our series called “The New Normal”. As we worked through Matthew 5, 6 and 7 we looked at what God’s Kingdom looks like, what it means to be truly blessed and how we can know and love God more. Now, Jesus goes out, into the crowds, traveling round demonstrating the coming Kingdom. We see Him heal, call people to repentance, forgive, raise the dead, cast out demons, calm the storm and eventually calls his disciples to do the same. We want to see His Kingdom come in this city, we want to see Jesus move and we want to do the things we see Him do. In Portsmouth we want to see the light shine in the darkness; that’s who Jesus is, a light in the darkness and the darkness cannot over come.
