The Violent Kingdom

In this audio talk, John Bettler maintains that living in a broken world either expands or narrows our worldview. When faced with tragedies, we must consider scenarios previously outside our imaginations. Yet at other times, the expansive categories we have are narrowed down through experience. God’s kingdom is an upside-down kingdom; one that consistently challenges our assumptions. Bettler examines the violence described in Matthew 11 and three ways that the kingdom of heaven violently overtakes this world.
