LIVING THE KINGDOM: Practical Applications of Jesus’ Teachings

WORD EXPLOSION| 2025 Edition | SESSION-2|ENLIGHTENED LIVING|CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA Join hosts Chimdi and Funke Ohahuna for an intense exploration of the Book of John in the 2025 Edition of Word Explosion. Engage with the GRACELIFECOMI community as we use various translations to unlock the profound truths contained within this Gospel. This study goes beyond the surface, providing an expository examination designed for believers eager for a fuller understanding of Jesus Christ and His teachings. In Session 2, we focus on John 1:9 through the perspective of the TCNT translation. Here, we reveal the incredible purpose of Jesus—He came to enlighten and instruct all humanity toward eternal success, which can only be found in Him. Our discussion will reflect on essential teachings derived from Matthew 5:2-9 and Mark 9:31a, underscoring that Jesus’ ministry is characterized more by His teachings than His miracles. When illuminated by the truth of God’s Word, we become living testimonies, just like the first Apostles. We will also examine the essence of preaching and teaching. According to Matthew 28:19-20, preaching is about presenting Jesus—the Word of God—while teaching involves a deeper explanation of His truths. Throughout this session, we will explore what Jesus revealed about: 1. The Father God: Discover how Jesus unveils the nature of the Father through His actions, affirming that He is the only true revelation of God (John 14:7-9; John 14:6). Learn how Acts 10:38 illustrates that God’s nature is fundamentally good and healing. 2. The Kingdom of God: Understand Jesus’ passionate instruction regarding God’s Kingdom as recorded in Mark 1:14-15 and how we must embody these teachings, reflecting God’s rule and reign in our lives (Romans 14:17; Mark 10:17-18; Matthew 16:16). As we engage with the Scriptures, we will remind ourselves that we are more than mere imitators of Christ. His essence resides in us, empowering us to live a life that truly reflects Him—not just appearing like Christ, but embodying His very presence. Tune in to Word Explosion 2025 Edition, where the Word comes alive, and become part of a community dedicated to growing in faith, understanding, and practical application of Christ’s teachings! Jesus is Lord.
