Today's headlines are filled with bad
news—war, famine, natural disasters,
governmental scandals and the like. With
all this bad news, what kind of
future can we look forward to?
Almost 2,000 years ago,
a prophet came bringing a vital
message for this world. That
prophet was Jesus Christ, and
His message was "the gospel
of the kingdom of God" (Mark
1:14). The word gospel means good news. But
what was the good news Jesus Christ brought?
What is the kingdom of which He spoke? And
does it have anything to do with the problems
that threaten us today?
Most people don't understand the truth
about the Kingdom of God. Yet it is the central
theme of the Bible—and truly the best news
the world can hear!
 In the free booklet, The Gospel
of the Kingdom you can discover
the truth of the surprising message Jesus
Christ brought. This booklet shows you, from
the pages of your Bible, exactly what that message
is—and what it means for you. Request your free copy today! |
