Understanding the Kingdom of God

Join Dave Scherrer from A Hundred Fold Ministries as he kicks off 2026 with a foundational exploration of the Kingdom of God. In this episode of Kingdom Offerings, Dave unpacks why understanding the gospel of the kingdom is central to the mission of Hundredfold Ministries—just as it was for the Apostle Paul and Jesus's disciples. Discover what a kingdom truly is, explore common misconceptions about God's kingdom, and learn about the essential elements that define it: a monarch, territory, people, sovereignty, laws, and shared culture. Dave explains how the Kingdom of God has existed since before creation and how we're invited to participate in its "now, but not yet" reality as we await Christ's return.
