Made to Honor | August 24, 2025Kingdom Come Week 3Message by Kyle Goen [Riverdale Campus Pastor]

Mark 15:33-39When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sebacthani!" Which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" When some bystanders heard it, they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah." And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see if Elijah will come and take him down." Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain in the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now, when the centurion who stood facing him saw that in this way he had breathed his last he said, "Truly this man was God's son." When I was a kid, we had a giant pit of sand and dirt in our back yard – about the size of our fire pit, over there next to the labyrinth. We cleverly called it the "Sand Pile" and it was a cheap, tasteless, makeshift version of what more sophisticated people would call a sand box, and we used it for sand castles, mud pies, dirt-track races for Matchbox cars, and whatever else kids who play in the sand, do in the dirt. (I think the Sand Pile started out as some sort of home improvement project at the church parsonage where we lived, but never amounted to anything, so my brother and I, along with our friends next door, co-opted it as a great place for little kids to play.)What made the Sand Pile cooler than your average sandbox, though, was that it wasn't self-contained. There were no sides, no cover, and no barrier underneath. One day, our neighbor friend had the brilliant idea that we should dig and just keep digging until we couldn't dig anymore. We knew this was going to take some time and I think the four of us decided to make it a summer project. Sometime after we started, I remember my dad coming home from work and noticing that we were up to something more ambitious than usual. When he asked what we were doing, we told him our plans and my friend declared that we were going to dig "all the way to Kingdom Come." We weren't very sophisticated, but we were ambitious.And so we dug a little bit each day, for days. We found worms and bugs and rocks of all kinds. We hit water one day, which meant we were really getting somewhere, so that was cool. And then one of us had the realization that if we kept digging long enough, we'd dig our way right into Hell and we wondered if maybe that wasn't such a great idea. We did keep digging, but the expedition ended shortly after that, either because we were scared or skeptical or just plain tired of shoveling. But that was the first time I ever remember considering something like the question someone offered up for this morning:"Do we have to believe in Hell in order to believe in Heaven?”When I was older, in High School, and learned about World War II and the Holocaust, I wondered if that might be Hell: the injustice and horror of concentration camps; the gas chambers, the torture, the attempted genocide. Elie Wiesel, likely the most famous survivor of the Holocaust asked once, "How [do you] explain or even describe the agony, the terror, the prayers, the tears, the tenderness, the sadness of the scientifically prepared death of six million human beings? … Six million human beings sentenced to death by an evil dictatorship not because of their faith or their circumstances but because of their very being." It sounded – and sounds, still – like Hell to me, even if it wasn't someplace you could dig your way into.When I visited all kinds of jails and prisons in college, I wondered if the smell and the heat and the sounds and the danger and the circumstances that led and keep a person there might be Hell.When I worked as a hospital chaplain for a summer during seminary, I remember a guy who had been burned on over 80% of his body. That looked like Hell, and I wondered if Hell was the sickness, disease, and disasters that consume and kill men, women, and children every minute of every hour of every day in the world. When I traveled with my family and then with our high school kids a couple of summers ago to the Whitney Plantation, in Edgard, Louisiana, where enslaved human beings were used and abused and tortured and killed, like worthless animals, for generations – Hell seemed very nearby.Is Hell the war in Ukraine? Is it the famine, starvation, and destruction in Gaza? Is Hell a cancer diagnosis or is the rigors of chemotherapy or radiation – even if they work, but especially when they don't? Is Hell a broken or breaking marriage; the death of a child; any kind of unbearable physical pain or emotional suffering? Is it paralyzing fear; hopeless loneliness; utter despair?With all of my questions, I guess you can tell that I don't think about Hell in the same way I did when I was digging around in the dirt as a child. But, from what I can tell, too many people – preachers, theologians, artists, and politicians – haven't moved beyond the sandbox. We hear too often, in my opinion, detailed images of Hell. You know them as well as I do: pictures of fire, deep dark places, chains and shackles perhaps, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, for sure, and the little guy in the red suit with a pointy tail and a pitch fork with the capacity to inflict pain and suffering on his victims for all of eternity.And these same people will tell you how to get there faster than any shovel can dig. Instructions usually include breaking the rules or not having enough of the right kind of faith or 'doing faith' differently than what's expected or accepted or, generally, behaving in ways that make God angry enough to send you ‘there' instead of calling you home to the right side of eternity.But I don't think any of this is what Hell is like or where it's at. Which is why I picked the readings I did for this morning. There are plenty of references in the Bible to Sheol and the Pit, to Hades and the Abyss. There's lots of talk about fire and punishment and the outer darkness – much of it from the very lips of Jesus himself.But nowadays, when I think of Hell, I think about the crucifixion and death of Jesus on that Good Friday afternoon. And it's not because of the abuse or the spitting or the whips or the thorns. It's not because of the darkness or the nails or the cross itself, even. It's because of the way all of these things added up to leave him hanging there alone, crying at the top of his voice, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" (Theologians call it Jesus' “cry of dereliction,” and it's why we say, as we do in our Apostles' Creed, that Jesus indeed “descended into Hell.”)It's at that moment when Hell becomes more real and more scary than any pitchfork or fire pit, if you ask me. It's at that moment when Jesus experiences what many of us have known – or what we fear – more than anything else: being utterly alone, utterly afraid, utterly out of control, cosmically lost, and entirely without hope or faith or comfort – even from God.It's at that moment when Jesus himself knows fully the hell of every concentration camp victim, every prisoner, every enslaved person, every frightened soldier, every starving stomach, every struggling addict, every dying patient, grieving spouse, scared child, broken heart, and sin-sick soul that ever was or ever will be. "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"So back to the question at hand. I was asked pointedly, if “we” believe in Hell, which seems to include the questioner, myself, and other leaders and pastors and theologians of the ELCA. I won't speak for others, because I can't – that's part of the beauty of what it means to be an ELCA-flavored Lutheran, in my opinion. But I will tell you that, I don't very much think about Hell anymore these days.If it does exist, it's not a concern of mine, because I believe it's been conquered and undone, dismissed and destroyed by the work of God's love in Jesus Christ – for me, and for you, and for all of creation. You can cite for me every Scripture and verse there is about Hades and Sheol, about the outer darkness and The Pit. But I believe there is a Hell the way I believe there are K Pop concerts, hot dog eating contests, and white pride parades. They may very well exist, but I don't – and won't – ever have to show my face there, thanks be to God.We can find plenty of pictures in the Bible and elsewhere to scare each other into believing that Hell is as likely an option as Heaven or that damnation is as likely as grace. And there are lots of pastors and churches who will fan that fire with gusto and glee, but that's not what the Gospel promises. To suggest that we can faithfully choose Heaven… To suggest that we can faith-LESS-ly opt for Hell… To suggest that we can reject God's willingness to love us all the way through Hell and back and remain in our sin and death, despite God's clear desire to win us back… is to suggest that God is powerless over evil, that God is powerless over death, that God is powerless over Sin, that God isn't all God is cracked up to be and that the very death and resurrection of Jesus was a cosmic waste of God's time. And I don't buy it.I don't buy it because when Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me,” he was quoting the first line of Psalm 22, which he knew well. So he must have known how Psalm 22 ends, just the same – with the hope of God's promised dominion, deliverance, power and provision. Verse 24 promises, “He did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted; he did not hide his face from me, but heard when I cried to him.” By invoking Psalm 22, what if Jesus wasn't just announcing his despair and descent into Hell's separation? What if he was declaring his hope for the Heaven that was to come, just the same?My adventure in the Sand Pile as a kid that summer didn't end just because we were scared of what we might find. I think it ended because, even as kids, we realized our digging wasn't leading us anywhere but down – and that's exhausting. It didn't take us long to learn that there was more life and fun and good news in the other direction – and that's where we chose to spend our days.Which is why and how and what we believe about Hell matters for our lives in this world.When our faith is motivated more by fear than it is by hope, we're heading in the wrong direction. When it comes to our journey of faith, I hope we'll remember and share as often as we can that the Gospel is about life conquering death. The story of Jesus is about God conquering Satan. The promise of our faith is that Heaven conquers Hell – whether we like it, would choose it, or not. And the call of our faith is to live and to love our way into Heaven, not to run away from a Hell that isn't ours to fear any longer, thanks to the God we know in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen for the sake of the world.Amen

It's part two of our Alex Ross series as Adam takes us through Kingdom Come.  Mark Waid and Alex Ross team up to bring us a very stark warning about total power.  Set in the not-too-distant-future of 1997 (aka now), Superman returns from a long absence to reign in the new generation of superheroes.  With very mixed results. This book reads like a Where's Waldo of fun easter eggs and “what if” characters.  And the art is, of course, absolutely stunning.  Support Tales From The Short Box by joining our Patreon! patreon.com/BraveNewWorldsComics

DEUTERONOMY 6:4-13 BRETT PONTECORVO WELLSPRING CHURCH NYC 08.10.2025  

When we don't value Jesus the way we should, we don't sacrifice for him or live for him, and our faithlessness robs him of power in our lives. The crucified and resurrected Jesus is the fulfillment of all the Old Testament truths. When we believe in him, we'll sacrifice for him. And when we sacrifice for him, we receive the return on that beautiful investment. But we must choose. Everyone must choose what we value. Takeaways: The pursuit of the kingdom of God requires an understanding of its immense value, surpassing all earthly possessions. Joyful relinquishment of worldly treasures is essential for gaining the incomparable riches of the kingdom. Faith in the promises of God is necessary to perceive the hidden realities of His kingdom. The call to follow Jesus demands significant sacrifices, which are trivial compared to the eternal rewards. The kingdom of heaven is worth seeking diligently, as it offers immeasurable joy and fulfillment. True understanding of Jesus involves recognizing His role as the fulfillment of divine promises, leading to genuine transformation.

Do you remember when you first memorized The Lord's Prayer? How old were you? "This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:9-10 (NIV) As children of God, we have a personal connection with our Heavenly Father. Each of us can approach Him to share our requests and burdens. He is holy and deserving of our praise. "See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us his children, and that is what we are!" - 1 John 3:1 (NLT)The Kingdom of God is a fundamental concept in Christian theology, representing God's rule and authority over His creation, especially among believers. It represents God's presence and power, both now and in the future. During His earthly ministry, Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God. People's lives are transformed and renewed as they turn away from their sin and follow God's will. "Kingdom Come" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlQQcQc0eHU&list=RDNlQQcQc0eHU&start_radio=1

Some transformations happen quietly—rising slowly beneath the surface, but reshaping everything. In this week's message, Pastor Jerry brings warmth, depth, and humor to a powerful parable of Jesus: the kingdom of heaven is like yeast that works its way through dough until every part is changed. Unpacking this brief but rich illustration, the message reveals two central truths: We must be leavened – God's Spirit wants to permeate every part of our lives, not just the public or polished ones. But it requires surrender—real transformation means releasing control and allowing God to shape us completely. We are called to be leaven – Once transformed, we are sent out to bring kingdom change into the world around us—not through force or fame, but through consistent, faithful presence, wherever we've been placed. From ancient bread-making to spiritual growth, Pastor Jerry reminds us that lasting influence takes time—and that our willingness to yield to God's timing and trust His work is what truly multiplies impact. Listen now and discover how your ordinary, obedient life can carry extraordinary weight in God's hands.

PATRICK MURPHY WELLSPRING CHURCH NYC 08.03.2025  

Both evil and good can spread and grow in us and in the church, and sin blinds us from seeing which one is growing in us and around us. The seed of the gospel is the only thing that can transform our bad into good. When we trust in the gospel, though evil is all around us, it cannot get in us. We will attain to eternal life in Christ. Our hope must be anchored in Christ and his gospel.

Matthew 9:1-17- The Forgiveness of Sins | Kingdom Come Bible Study Part 16 by Tim Hatch

DIMETRA BARRIOS WELLSPRING CHURCH NYC 07.27.2025  

Human hearts are naturally hard, shallow, and distracted by the things of this world. These heart conditions make us resistant and unresponsive to God's word. We think we need things around us to change, but what we need is for someone to change our hearts. Jesus, the true Sower, transforms our hearts to receive the life-changing gospel. By his death and resurrection, he softens our hearts, heals our brokenness, and, through the Spirit, helps us understand and bear fruit from God's Word.

Finishing off our “Kingdom Come” series, Pastor Asim Trent brings a fresh word from Matthew 13:51–52, calling us to live not just as students of the Kingdom, but as stewards of it. Drawing from Jesus' often-overlooked parable of the householder who brings out treasures both new and old, Pastor Asim challenges us to embrace our Kingdom assignment—to take responsibility for what God has placed in our hands. With insight and conviction, he highlights how true disciples are called to steward timeless truths from the past and fresh revelations for the future. Just like a master of a house, Kingdom disciples are entrusted with treasures to share with a world in need, anchored in the wisdom of Scripture and empowered by the Spirit for today's challenges. Whether you feel stuck, stagnant, or spiritually dry, this message will encourage you to rediscover forgotten gifts and step into your calling as a discipling disciple, living fully for the advancement of God's Kingdom.

OLIVIA MUNN-SHIRSATH WELLSPRING CHURCH NYC 07.20.2025

We reject Jesus because we don't want to surrender lordship of our own kingdom. We feel like we have too much to lose. The gospel teaches us that whatever we lose by surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus doesn't compare to what we lose when we fight to keep the lordship over our own kingdom. To keep lordship over our own kingdom brings death (v. 43-45), but to surrender it bring life (v. 46-50)

Pastor Derrill Corbin continues our summer series “Kingdom Come” by unpacking the final parable in Matthew 13 — the Parable of the Dragnet. Jesus reveals a sobering yet hope-filled picture of the Kingdom of Heaven: a wide net cast into the chaos of the sea, gathering people from every walk of life for a future sorting. He Derrill challenges us to see the Church as God's chosen instrument in a restless, broken world, advancing His Kingdom with purpose and urgency. This message explores three key truths: that the Kingdom is moving among the nations, the Church is the net God uses for His mission, and the coming judgment calls for bold, urgent action. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, weary from life's chaos, or searching for purpose, this teaching is a call to renewal, courage, and Kingdom-first living.

Pastor Gentry Morris explores what it means to pray: "Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

n Part 2, Alex opens up about the growing role of AI in art and how it raises serious concerns for creators like himself. We also take a nostalgic turn as he shares his childhood memories of 1960s Japanese animation — Speed Racer — and his thoughts on the rise of modern American adult animation.Alex reflects on the long-overdue recognition of classic comic book creators in today's Marvel and DC films, and what it meant to meet legends like Jack Kirby and Neal Adams. We revisit the origin stories behind Marvels and Kingdom Come, and reveal a near-miss — when Alex almost helped design a new Gatchaman team for an American rights holder. And for fans of Fantastic Four, Alex shares the story behind his Earth X visions of Marvel's First Family, and how it continues to influence his creative work.
