Person dressed as ancient figure speaking to a diverse group on stone walkway

Jesus absolutely stunned the Pharisees when He told them,
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” These were not His biggest fans—they were resisting Him and His message at every turn. So why would Jesus drop a line like that on them – of all people? And what did Jesus mean by this bold, even “radical,” claim about the Kingdom of God? In this video, we’ll dig into the original Greek, the context of that tense conversation, and the Kingdom of God meaning behind His words—what “the Kingdom of God is within you” really means, how it’s often misunderstood, and how it can completely reshape the way we see God’s Kingdom at work in our own lives.
