Description

The Kingdom is not merely a destination. It begins with a conversation with the King. In Kingdom Conversations Episode 4, Dr. Dana Carson continues unfolding the Kingdom of God through its original Second Temple Jewish context, revealing why Abraham is the model of Kingdom faith and why Melchizedek, the King of Righteousness, is central to understanding the Gospel. Discover how God's covenant with Abraham establishes the foundation for righteousness by faith, why the Kingdom is built on relationship rather than religion, and how every believer is called into an ongoing conversation with God.
