Summary

In this inspiring message, Pastor Todd Mullins explains that Jesus did not come merely to get us into heaven someday, but to bring the reality of heaven into our lives today. Comparing God's kingdom to yeast mixed into dough, he illustrates how God desires to transform us from the inside out and work through every area of our lives. As citizens of heaven and carriers of God's unshakable kingdom, believers are called to yield to God's authority and carry His presence, love, and values into their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Sermon Moments

“Jesus didn't come just to get you into heaven; He came to get heaven into you.”

“The kingdom of God is wherever God gets what God wants.”

“A boat is made to be in the water, but the water isn't supposed to be in the boat. Believers are called to be in the world, but not let the world into their hearts.”

“Yeast doesn't just add something to the dough; yeast fundamentally changes the structure of the dough from the inside out.”

“You cannot experience transformation by sprinkling a little bit of Jesus on top of your life; He must be worked deep into every area.”

“You are a kingdom carrier: wherever you go, you carry the authority, presence, and values of the King.”

This Week

Invite God's sovereign rule into your home, marriage, and workplace every day through intentional prayer.

Live as a citizen of heaven by intentionally choosing kingdom values over worldly culture in your daily decisions.

Surrender every area of your life—including your finances, relationships, and daily conversations—to God's transforming work.

Be patient with yourself and others as God works spiritual transformation from the inside out over time.

Act as a faithful kingdom carrier by bringing unity where there is division and love where there is hatred.

Share the good news of Jesus with someone who is far from God, remembering what it feels like to be lost.

Commit to leaning in, praying, and engaging fully in your local church community over the coming weeks.

Remember This

The Kingdom of God is wherever God gets what God wants, transforming our hearts from the inside out as we carry His presence and values into the world around us.

A Challenge for You

For the next five weeks, lean in, pray with us, and ask God to make you a kingdom carrier who doesn't just sprinkle a little bit of Jesus onto your life, but yields completely so His kingdom can come through you.
