Notes on ADTT Kingdom Series

- from the Kingdom Series lessons taught by Pastor Joseph DiSarno during the Apostolic Discipleship Training Track classes of batch A3


Introduction to Kingdom Concepts
June 18, 2008

- Jesus starts His ministry by declaring, “The Kingdom of God is at hand.”

- later on He says, “the Kingdom of God is among you.”

- the Kingdom of God is NOW but NOT YET

- the Kingdom has to be PROCLAIMED and DEMONSTRATED

- the word “kingdom” in Greek is VASÍLEION, which means “a political domain with boundaries and borders”; the rule of the King”

- Jesus demonstrated the Kingdom by exerting His authority over the elements, sin, demons, sickness, the harvest and different aspects of life on earth

- the purpose of bringing God’s Kingdom to the earth is to restore His ORIGINAL INTENT for Creation

- KINGDOM, COVENANT and the HOLY SPIRIT are important concepts in getting a complete understanding of the Kingdom of God
