Beyond Brokenness: How Jacked-up Punks Will Change the World
Anthony Bradley
Reform & Resurge Conference May 2006 Session 2. Anthony Bradley, professor at Covenant Seminary, speaks about, "Beyond Brokenness: How Jacked-Up Punks Will Change the World." Watch this video presentation on the Kingdom of God. Anthony Bradley explains that redemption is more than just involvement with people but all things. The Kingdom that God is setting up is Jesus' rule and reign over all. Do God's people realize that God uses people to build his Kingdom? Even though everyone is "jacked-up" or sinful he still chooses to use believers to preach the gospel in order to redeem all things.
Using themes from Isaiah 61:1-4 Anthony Bradley hopes to address that living missionally is so much more than dealing with issues of brokenness and healing--viz., namely that we now have a role to play in the continuing story of cosmic redemption. He desires that we look at how we can missionally live for the Kingdom of God and how we are invited to partake in the story of redemption. Having a Kingdom mindset we will realize that everywhere and everyone has a role to play and areas to reach for redemption. The good news of Jesus and his work is for any type of abusive situations and those that have incurred deep wounds such as how divorce has brought brokenness to many people.
Through our redemption and being identified with Jesus Christ as Oaks of Righteousness we are now able to participate in the redemption of God's Kingdom. If you are about Jesus Christ this video will help you see how you ought to be about rebuilding, renewing and restoring the areas that surround us for God's Kingdom.
