Man&#8217;s need for salvation? God&#8217;s love for mankind? The new birth?<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Jesus spoke about all of those things. And they&#8217;re all essential truths. But none of them were the theme of His teaching. The theme of Jesus&#8217; message was the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p>The message of the kingdom is missing from the gospel that&#8217;s preached today. As a result, many Christians don&#8217;t realize that the kingdom of God is a present reality on earth. They don&#8217;t even know what the kingdom of God is. Consequently, they never make the kingdom commitment that Christ requires.<\/p>\n<p>In The Kingdom that Turned the World Upside Down, David Bercot takes the reader back to Jesus&#8217; teachings of the kingdom-teachings that have too often been forgotten. Bercot describes the radically new laws of the kingdom and its upside-down values. There&#8217;s no room in Christ&#8217;s kingdom for superficial Christianity, for this is a kingdom that has historically turned the world upside down. <\/p>\n<p>281 pages. Paperback.
