Running Our Own City

Running Our Own City

When we’re about the ultimate business of running our own city, we no longer “go to church” or “go to work” or “go to the store” or “go to school” as exiles, but go from Church into our own city to embody the Kingdom of God in our various specialized vocational callings seven days a week.

The Capital C Church

The Capital C Church

The Fallen World System is the problem for which kingdomculture embodied in the Capital C Church is the solution. Putting the phrase “Capital C” in front of the word Church is necessary in order to be clear that there’s more to the Church than just distinctive expressions of the Church like the “local church,” the “mission church,” the “house church,” the “mega church,” or the “established church.”

Christus Victor

Christus Victor

Christus Victor is the ancient, central, and unifying theme of the faith of God’s people since the beginning (Gen. 3:15). The prophets called it “the counsel of the Lord” (Jer. 23:18; cf. Amos 3:7). Paul referred to it when he spoke of the “good confession” that Jesus made before Pontius Pilate (1 Tim. 6:13). And Jesus Himself called it “the mystery of the kingdom of God” (Mk. 4:11).

Belonging

Belonging

Belonging is the foundational way to advance the kingdom. In addition to friends and guests who are invited and welcome to participate in the life of Basileia, individuals may choose to become Basileians in a more formal sense when they come into relationship with another Basileian who serves as their Soul Friend (i.e., as a mentor or coach in our Basileian way of life).
