Kingdom Come-History and Hope

Kingdom Come unfolds the gripping story of how the power of prayer drives racial reconciliation. African-American pastor, Reverend Elijah Summers, serves his church and community during the toxic 1964 culture of Mississippi in the fictitious town of Contention, Mississippi. One Sunday morning a single mother in his congregation becomes sick and cannot go to church. Her five-year-old son, Samuel, is disappointed. Samuel determines to go to church to see the "White Jesus". He strides over the tracks to the town's largest Caucasian church. Dr. David Livingston, the pastor, arrogantly rebuffs Samuel refusing to allow him in church. When Elijah hears this, he is troubled and goes into his study. Elijah lays it all before the Lord. To his amazement, the Lord gives Elijah a direct command: "Go and confront him as a fellow minister of the gospel.""What would I say? He may not listen to me because of my color.""Do you think my Word has no power?""Of course not, Lord."
