Mark kicks off a new series entitled Our Values, starting with The Kingdom – God’s rule and reign.  In Mark 1:14-15, Jesus declared that ‘the time had come’ and that God’s Kingdom ‘was near’, breaking into this world through the coming of Christ.  Yet Jesus also spoke of God’s Kingdom in the future, being fully established and consummated when He comes again. We therefore live in the ‘the now and not yet’ of God’s Kingdom, and we embrace this tension and walk in it with obedience and faith.
