"The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." The most famous sermon ever preached. Some of the most profound words ever spoken. Practices that have become part of everyday life.

This is a pretty bold and loaded statement, and we want to take our time to consider what this means! what is the Kingdom of Heaven? What are the ethics of this kingdom? What is the economy of this kingdom? Who are her citizens, and how do they act? What do they value? So many good questions that might leave us "astonished" and asking the question: "...then what is our hope?"
