This four-sermon series looks at the Lord Jesus' promised return to establish His eternal kingdom. Using six New Testament books, it considers how the knowledge of our returning King affects our understanding of being justified by faith, following His commandments, persevering through trials, and looking forward to His consummating acts. These sermons accompany lessons from The Gospel Project curriculum originally scheduled for May 2013.
