Understanding The Purposes of the Church & The Kingdom

The church and the Kingdom are not the same thing. Within the economy of God the Church serves a distinct but related function in fulfilling His purposes for mankind. The difference between the church and the Kingdom have often been ignored or misunderstood, thereby frustrating the church in fulfilling its intended purpose. Without an understanding of the order, priority and purpose of the church in its relationship to the Kingdom the believer cannot fulfill their purposes and realize the fulfillment God promises us as a result of our being citizens of His Kingdom.
