The Earthly Kingdom and the Heavenly Calling is a detailed KJV sermon outline from VerseQuest Ministries built on Matthew 6:10 and Colossians 3:1–4. This study explains the biblical distinction between Israel’s promised earthly kingdom and the Church’s heavenly position, affection, and hope in Christ. It shows how the kingdom is connected to Israel, David’s throne, Jerusalem, the judgment of the nations, and the visible reign of Jesus Christ, while the Body of Christ is seated in heavenly places and awaits the Saviour from heaven. Designed for pastors, preachers, teachers, Bible students, and believers, this sermon resource clarifies kingdom truth, Pauline doctrine, the Rapture, the Second Advent, Israel and the Church, and the danger of replacement theology and political kingdom-building. With strong King James Bible emphasis, this outline equips Christians to seek things above, preserve Israel’s promises, preach the gospel of grace, and rightly divide God’s earthly and heavenly purposes.
