Introduction to the Video Series

The Bible has a story line moving through themes from the Old Testament to the New with One Hero. Biblical Theology unfolds the story through the passages of the Bible with the theme of Kingdom in the following videos.

Movement 1: God Sets Up His Kingdom

God created all things good in this Kingdom. Every thing worked according to His plan and He had an intimate relationship with Adam and Eve.

Movement 2 – Humans Rebel in God’s Kingdom

Unfortunately humans rebel against God and sin entered God’s Kingdom. As a result God’s creation was corrupted yet God’s goodness is still present in every aspect of His creation.

Movement 3 – The King Chooses Israel

God initiated His restoration plan and chose Abraham to father a nation, be a blessing and to be a light to the nations. Alas, Israel chose sin over God.

Movement 4 – The King Begins His Kingdom

Jesus, the Messiah, the son of Abraham came. He called for repentance and a belief in the good news that Jesus who never sinned would live, die, and raise again for sinners.

Movement 5 – The News of the King Spread

After rising from the dead, Jesus commanded his people to spread the good news and make disciples who would be objects of renewal in Christ to establish embassies of God’s kingdom.

Movement 6 – The King Brings His Kingdom

God’s chosen king will return in fullness of power and glory. Brokenness will be restored. God the Father, Son, and Spirit will rule over His creation in perfect order.
