I feel a cold coming on *cough cough* I don't know that I can make it this morning... maybe if I just read the Scripture it would be just as good??

So, what do you make of the concept of "kingdom" in Paul? Is it the church and only the church? Or more? Or less?

Well everyone knows the kingdom and the church are exactly the same thing.

Actually, I don't think I mentioned the word 'church' the entire sermon. My point, which I think was Paul's, is the contrast between the 'domain of darkness' (the rule of Satan) with the kingdom, or rule, of Christ. I also brought in the idea of darkness vs. light (see Col. 1:12).

God has rescued us from Satan's rule, making us qualified for eternal life with him by transferring us to the rule of His Son. That rescue was made possible by the ransom paid on the cross.
