Blog Leave a Comment

Listen to a sermon by David Pileggi delivered at the Narkis Street congregation in Jerusalem.

In this sermon, delivered on the 26th of January, 2008 to the Narkis Street Congregation in Jerusalem, Rev. David Pileggi discusses the centrality of the Kingdom of Heaven in Jesus’ message and for Jesus’ followers today. This sermon is particularly helpful for defining what the term “Kingdom of Heaven” means and describing how, when Christians correctly understand this term, the Church can be motivated to participate fully in the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven today. Pileggi offers challenging words for those who want to commit to following Jesus, allowing God to reign more fully over every part of their lives.
