Jesus Christ told Pontius Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world…” What did He mean? How does that translate to the 21-century world in which we live?

Throughout the history of humanity, tribes and nations have drawn up lines to divide themselves from others, to separate themselves from their enemies.

**Atonement** The greatest disaster ever to befall the human race wasn't a hurricane, tornado, forest fire or even any of the wars that have plagued us.

The September 15, 2020 signing of peace agreements known as the Abraham Accord, among Israel, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, was a notable historic event.

Given by Doug Johnson
August 22, 2020

The New Testament uses two Greek words frequently translated "patience" in English. It looks like one of them deals with having patience in trials ("endurance") while the other has to do with being patient with people ("longsuffering"). They're both challenging! How are we doing as disciples of Jesus Christ?
