130 Citizens of Heaven
Show Notes

What does the spiritual kingdom mean for Christians? In this episode, Jen Denton and Pastor Jeff Cranston discuss what rights and privileges citizens of God's kingdom have. They focus on four main areas: defense and protection, receiving resources, surrendering to God's will, and eternal life. The kingdom of God is not about land or territory but is about spiritual dominion and access to God's resources. Citizens of the kingdom are under God's rule, defended, and protected. They receive God's resources and are responsible to follow Christ's lordship.
