Join Dave Scherrer from Hundredfold 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.

Our invitation to participate

Our acts of kindness, done in the name of Jesus, with the purpose of serving and blessing others also serve to lay aside treasures in heaven that glorify and exalt our King. This constitutes the kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven - we become the answer to the Lord’s prayer.

God's economy of spiritual profit, which He's interested in, is not based on anything that has a worldly value associated with it.
