When we gather together with other disciples of the Kingdom we constitute the Church, a manifestation of the Kingdom of God in a still-fallen and lost world, a smaller part of a much larger whole. (Lesson 5, Page 40)

The Kingdom of God creates the Church by making disciples of the Kingdom who gather together as the Church. (Lesson 5, Page 43)

The Kingdom produces the Church as a by-product of discipleship. If we make disciples, the result will be a Church. (Lesson 5, Page 40) 

The Kingdom is God’s plan. Discipleship is His method. And the Church is the by-product. (Lesson 5, Page 40) 

When disciples of the Kingdom gather together for worship, teaching, mutual ministry and fellowship they call themselves “the Church,” the ekklesia or “the assembly of those who have been called out.” (Lesson 5, Page 39) 

We teach the Kingdom, we proclaim the Kingdom, we manifest the Kingdom and we make disciples of the Kingdom. (Lesson 5, Page 39)

As disciples of Jesus, we don’t proclaim “church,” “our church” or “the Church.” We proclaim a Kingdom, a Savior, and a Messiah-King. (Lesson 5, Page 39)

Since that day when Jesus ascended into heaven to take His seat at the right hand of His Father, the flow of history favors the faithful. The flow of history is now in the hands of disciples of the Kingdom. (Lesson 4, Page 25)
