Enacting the Kingdom

The core theme of the Scriptures could be considered to be the theme of monarchy.  Initially the biblical narrative seems to imply that having a king would be desirable, despite prophetic warnings against, and then we see the kings of Israel fail again and again.  So is it a good idea to have a king, or not?  The fact is, our human expectations of kingship result in kings that fail.  All kings will fall short because our king is meant to be God himself.

As we sing at Saturday vespers, "The Lord is King; He is robed in majesty"!

In this seventh public season of Enacting the Kingdom, we are releasing a series on the Your Liturgical Bible that was previously only available to our patrons.  If you like what you hear, and would like access to much more, please consider supporting our project by heading to patreon.com/enactingthekingdom and choosing a tier of support.  We would love to have you join our growing community!
