Serials and Scenarios ~ Steve Schaefer's Living in the Overlap

Living in the Overlap by Steve Schaefer Did Jesus already establish His kingdom on earth? " Living in the Overlap explores the challenges and benefits of living in a kingdom that is both "already" and "not yet." If you want a deeper understanding of Jesus' kingdom message, and if you want to explore the kingdom's implications for your life today, let this provocative and enlightening book be your guide. The kingdom of God was the central message of Jesus, yet so few Christians understand what it means to live in that kingdom. Many of us think of the kingdom of God arriving with the second coming, but Steve Shaefer asserts that Jesus already established His kingdom on earth. Some of the blessings from the coming kingdom are available to us now, while we live in the overlap between the establishment of the kingdom and when it comes to its fullness. Those blessings can help us walk by faith, deal with temptation, and love others.
