Introduction: Being Part of His Story

We all want our lives to count for something. There’s something inside of us that wants to make a real difference.

That is the heart of this message!

Pastor Mike Greider shares his own journey of how God has radically invaded his life and allowed him to be a part of team to whom God revealed the principles and process of becoming an agent of Kingdom transformation.

When we think about the Kingdom of God, we may envision something in the distant future. But the author shows us that, although the fullness of the Kingdom of God is manifest when Jesus Christ returns, there also is a powerful present reality that every one of us can be engaged in right now!

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. What is the good news about the Kingdom that you need to understand more deeply today?

This is not just one man’s journey. Rather it is the story of a community that was willing to let Jesus Christ show them how the blessings of His Kingdom can be experienced in real and tangible ways. These blessings are personal, and for an entire community. It is an inspiring story of a community that truly was an underdog.

This story was made possible because of the willing, hungry hearts of so many. Individuals who did not want to draw attention to themselves, but to be a part of His Story. That’s what history is all about. “History” is simply “His Story” being revealed in a way that unveils the goodness and kindness of the King of Kings.

My personal thanks go to the unsung heroes of the Kingdom. Those passionate intercessors who are willing to stay in the shadows yet called forth His Kingdom in all of His power and glory. To the community leaders who each day, quietly ask God to flow through them, to do something that is beyond them. To the Pastors who were willing to put their theology aside to focus on Jesus’ agenda. To the marketplace leaders who were willing to park their egos and logos, so that the King could use their Companies to become a blessing to all.

How can I express my gratitude to those who came from all across the United States and around the world to participate in what God wanted to do in a community that in many ways was the least and the last?

I pray that you enjoy the recounting of a journey that continues to unfold. I hope that you’re inspired by what the Holy Spirit revealed to us individually and collectively as we invited God to expand His Kingdom in our lives and in our community.

In sharing this testimony, we believe that God can “do it again”, in your life and in your community!

“Let his Kingdom come and His will be done on earth (in your part of the earth) as it is in heaven”(Mat.6:10 NKJV)
