Genesis 22:18 ESV
and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
The Kingdom of God was the primary motivation, mission, message of Jesus.
Matthew 4:17 ESV
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Luke 9:2 NLT
Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 10:9 NKJV
And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
Acts 1:3 NIV
After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Acts 28:31 NIV
He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
The church is who we are. Building the Kingdom is what we do.At Rev City, “be a church that builds the Kingdom” we want to “Make disciples that make a difference.”It’s what he has made you part of – HIS KINGDOM.
Colossians 1:12-14 NIV
and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. [13] For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, [14] in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus didn’t come to build an organization or a denomination, he came to rescue his sons and daughters and bring us back into his family – back into a relationship. To Make us part of His Kingdom family.
Romans 14:17 NIV
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
When God sees you he no longer sees your past, your sin, your shame – He sees you through the blood of Jesus. Righteousness is not just something we do – it’s who we are. It’s what we have become through and in Christ. And isn’t it interesting that perhaps no three things are under more attack – identity confusion, insignificance, anxiety, and depression.
John 14:27 NIV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
- I am the righteousness of God.
- The joy of the Lord is MY STRENGTH.
- I have the peace of Jesus to guard my heart and guard my mind. A vision for Lawrence, Topeka, Kansas City and the world.
Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Matthew 10:7-8 NKJV
And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ [8] Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Giving is the verb of the Bible.
John 3:16 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Philippians 4:17 NIV
Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.
Matthew 6:19-20 NIV
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Giving is about the heart.
Matthew 6:21 NIV
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:24 NIV
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Many believe. Some know. We should desire to SERVE God.
Luke 6:38 NIV
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Luke 17:33 NLT
If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.

Give
At Rev City Church, we believe that giving is a Christ-like lifestyle. We generously give forgiveness, mercy, grace, love, time-whatever is needed to reveal Jesus to others. Regarding finances, we faithfully tithe as the starting point for extravagantly supporting and building God’s Kingdom through our local church.
