A Magazine of Understanding

Dear Good News Subscriber:

As a reader of the Good News magazine, published by United Church of God, you may have wondered if the Church has local congregations. The answer is yes. As pastor of the Cedar Rapids congregation, I would like to invite you to a special seminar on January 21 for Good News magazine readers and their friends in Cedar Rapids titled “Kingdom of God Bible Seminars.”

A Key to Human Survival

The Kingdom of God was the central theme of Jesus’ ministry. Our world today is filled with thousands of forms of organized Christianity that teach about Jesus—but often don’t teach the message that Jesus shared with His believers. Jesus Christ’s original message of the future Kingdom of God (found in over 100 places in the New Testament) is largely unrecognized by Christianity today—even though this message holds the very key to human survival.

Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” will enter into His Kingdom (Mathew 7:21). Jesus told of the key signs about His return and how to prepare for His Kingdom! As a reader of the Good News magazine you have read of the prophesied troubling times ahead for our nation and the world. But, as you have also read, there is good news of a Kingdom yet to come!

You Are Invited

We want to tell you more about that Kingdom and give you the good news Jesus preached to his disciples. You are invited to this special Kingdom of God Bible Seminar, which is coming to Cedar Rapids, Iowa,on Saturday, September 10. The topics will be “The Time is Fulfilled” and “The Kingdom Is at Hand.” If you’ve attended our Bible seminars before, please know that this is all new material.

Jesus instructed usto: “Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).As a Good News subscriber, you and your family and friends are invited to join us for this special presentation.We will help you unlock your understanding of the Bible as never before. These seminars are being held in over 160 cities across the United States and many other countries around the world. The seminar nearest you is being held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at the Hometown Inn and Suites, 3315 Southgate Ct. S.W., Cedar Rapids, IA, 52304at 10 a.m.

What Can I Expect?

By attending you will discover what the Kingdom means to your own personal salvation. The seminars will help you understand the key signs Jesus gave His disciples about His return and how the Kingdom of God will soon be established on earth. You will also discover not only how you can enter the Kingdom of God but vital ways you can develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your Creator now. And, finally, you will learn important ways to live a positive, happy life even in the midst of the problems and challenges you face.
