About this ebook

Since New Testament times, the kingdom of God has presented a paradox for believers. Although it’s both here and at hand, it’s also not quite here in all its fullness. That’s where we come in. In Kingdom Building, Grace Biskie offers insight into how Christians can collaborate with the Creator of the universe and bring this Kingdom into the here and now. We do this in community with other believers; and we start with the poor, our enemies, and those we despise. Building the kingdom of God isn’t easy. Sometimes it happens inch by inch. Sometimes it makes us uncomfortable. But few things are more satisfying for a Christian than being involved in God’s plan for changing the world, and it starts in our world. Because whether we know it or not, we’re all longing for God’s kingdom to be here entirely. And when that happens, God will make all things new.

Converge Bible Studies is a series of topical Bible studies. Each title in the series consists of four studies on a common topic or theme. Converge can be used by small groups, classes, or individuals. Primary Scripture passages from the Common English Bible are included for ease of study, as are questions designed to encourage both personal reflection and group conversation. The topics and Scriptures in Converge come together to transform readers’ relationships with others, themselves, and God.
