Build Your Kingdom Here

At the heart of this powerful message lies a simple yet profound truth: God's kingdom must first be established within us before it can transform our communities and world. Drawing from the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-10, we're reminded that Jesus yearned for earth to reflect heaven's reality—where God's will flows freely without obstruction. This isn't about passively waiting for change; it's about becoming the change we long to see. Like builders working brick by brick, we're called to construct something lasting in our own hearts first. The song 'Build Your Kingdom Here' becomes more than just lyrics—it's a blueprint for spiritual transformation. We need to constantly recommit ourselves to God, allowing Him to rule and reign in our hearts again and again. Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 echo this call, urging us to increase and abound in love, establishing our hearts in holiness. When we're truly focused on God, opposition becomes noise, and discouragement transforms into confirmation that we're on the right path. The world desperately needs what we carry—hope in a time of record suicide rates, encouragement in an age of negativity, and the transformative power of God's presence. We are His church, and we need His power flowing through us to heal our streets and land.
