We continue our inaugural series on the vision and values of C4SO in this episode, where Bishop Todd expands on what we mean by naming "Kingdom" as one of C4SO's core values. Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom is the only explanatory system that can carry both the entire purposes of God and the full needs of humanity. It's from this kingdom that we, as apprentices of Jesus, derive our life and power for ministry, and it is this reality that we learn to announce, demonstrate and embody, for the sake of others. Because our connection to the Kingdom gives us unlimited access to Divine resources, we engage in joyful generosity: planting churches as outposts or embassies of the kingdom, sending our best leaders, and making financial investments as the overflow of the rule and reign of God, in whom we live and move and have our being.
