Episode 5 - Learning the Way of the Kingdom

Episode 6 - The Quiet Power of the Kingdom

In Week 6 of Enter The Story, we explore a powerful paradox: the Kingdom of God advances quietly, yet transforms everything. Through Matthew 11, Luke 11, Matthew 13, Luke 8, and Mark 4, we see Jesus describe the Kingdom not as spectacle, but as seed. Not as noise, but as growth. Not as force, but as faithfulness. This episode brings you directly into the biblical text, helping you see: • The loving character of God revealed in Christ • The assurance of salvation by faith in Jesus alone • How the Kingdom grows in hidden, faithful obedience • What it means to live as a disciple shaped by quiet trust Follow along with the free Chronological New Testament Reading Plan: https://livingforhim.tv/biblereadingplans/2020/1/2/the-new-testament-t9ht6 [https://livingforhim.tv/biblereadingplans/2020/1/2/the-new-testament-t9ht6] You can also journey deeper with the book Enter The Story: A 52-Week Journey Through the Chronological New Testament: https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament [https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament] The Kingdom may begin small — but it changes everything.

Episode 5 - Learning the Way of the Kingdom

In Week 5 of Enter The Story, we sit at the feet of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) and then watch His kingdom teaching come alive in Luke 7 and Matthew 9. Jesus reveals a kingdom unlike any other — where blessing begins with poverty of spirit, greatness looks like mercy, prayer flows from intimacy with the Father, and authority is shaped by compassion.

Episode 4 - Authority Shaped By Compassion

Week 4 — Authority Shaped By Compassion What does real authority look like? In this week’s readings, Jesus demonstrates power that restores rather than crushes. He heals. He forgives. He calls. He confronts — but always with love. Authority in the kingdom of God is shaped by compassion. In this episode, we reflect on: • God’s heart revealed in Jesus • The security we have in Christ • A spiritual formation practice for this week • How to live this out in disciple-making Download the free reading plan: 👉 https://livingforhim.tv/biblereadingplans/2020/1/2/the-new-testament-t9ht6 [https://livingforhim.tv/biblereadingplans/2020/1/2/the-new-testament-t9ht6] Companion book: 👉 https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament [https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament] Let’s keep entering the story together.

Episode 3 - Seeing and Believing

In Week 3 of Enter the Story, we walk through moments where people encounter Jesus and must decide what they truly see. From the healing of the paralytic and the calling of Matthew to the growing tension between faith and skepticism, this week asks a deeper question: Is seeing enough — or does belief require surrender? As the story unfolds, we watch crowds marvel, disciples follow, and religious leaders resist. The miracles reveal more than power — they reveal the heart of God. In every scene, we are invited to move from curiosity to conviction.

Episode 2 - The Kingdom Draws Near

Episode 2 — The Kingdom Draws Near What if repentance wasn’t about guilt—but about preparing your heart for what God is already doing? In this episode of Enter the Story, we continue our 52-week journey through the Chronological New Testament by stepping into the ministry of John the Baptist and the baptism and temptation of Jesus. Through Luke 3, Matthew 3, John 1:19–34, Mark 1:1–13, and Matthew 4:1–11, we explore how God prepares hearts before He moves in power. Before miracles, before teaching, before public ministry—there is preparation. This episode invites you to: • See God’s love revealed in patient preparation • Rest in your identity as beloved in Christ before performance • Understand repentance as hopeful realignment, not shame • Reflect on how testing can strengthen trust rather than weaken faith 📖 Read along this week using the free Enter the Story Bible reading plan 📘 Get the companion book, Enter the Story: A 52-Week Journey Through the Chronological New Testament 👉 https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament [https://livingforhim.mysamcart.com/enter-the-story-chronological-new-testament] This is not about trying harder.
