“Everyone tried to touch him” (Luke 6:19, NLT)
Everywhere Jesus went the crowds followed. There was something truly unique and magnetic about him. In the Gospel of Luke, it is mentioned over 30 times that the crowds gathered around him, seeking to get as close as they could, trying to touch him if at all possible. People couldn’t get enough of Jesus.
Kingdom Come is a sermon series that looks closely at some of the most poignant accounts of this phenomenon throughout the gospel. It will seek to explain the question of what it was about Jesus that drew people so close. Together we will get a clearer picture of who this heavenly man was and still is, and we will be invited to draw closer to him ourselves.

The Psalmist exclaimed: “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3) We live in an age of destroyed foundations in society, in families, in the church, and in individual lives. But there are truths, foundational principles, doctrines, that never go out of style. You could call these the building blocks of life.
