Lowell Noble of Lenox presents on the Kingdom of God at CCDA 2004.

Lowell Noble presents on the theological concept of the Kingdom of God at CCDA 2005.

The Holy Spirit and the present and social dimensions of the Kingdom of God such as social oppression and social justice issues will be the focus. Key Scriptures will be the Messianic passages from Isaiah which tie the Spirit, Kingdom, and Justice together. See also Luke 4:18-19, Acts 1:1-8, and Romans 14:17. How can we release the Spirit to incarnate the Kingdom among the poor and oppressed?

Spirit, Kingdom, Justice, Shalom

To bring shalom to our troubled, poor, urban areas, the Spirit, Kingdom and justice are key Biblical concepts. Drawing from ten years of reconciliation work alongside Dr. John Perkins, this workshop explores my paraphrase of Romans 14:17 - “The Kingdom of God is Justice, Shalom, and Joy in the Holy Spirit,” plus the messianic passages from the book of Isaiah, Luke 4:18-19 and Acts 4:32-35.

The current financial and economic crisis is not fundamentally a matter of greed or stupidity’ (David Brooks). It is caused by a designed system of oppression, lobbied for in Congress, in which the poor suffering the most. This workshop examines the historical roots of economic systems of oppression in America.
