I've been wondering for awhile if I've placed too much emphasis on church.
From the Gospels we see Jesus was focused on His good news message of the kingdom of God.
The emphasis shifts with the other books in the New Testament to a greater emphasis on Christ's church.
Yet, across the whole New Testament the term kingdom beats the term church by around 154 to 116.
I think there is overlap between the two terms. I believe church is people of God, and whenever they get together. Those part of Christ's kingdom are part of Christ's church.
Maybe there would be less distinction if the meaning of church lines up with what we see in the New Testament.
What do you think?
How focused should we be on kingdom work and on church work?
Is there a difference?
