BIG IDEA
When we align our thinking with a Kingdom Mindset, we truly begin to connect to God's greater purpose.
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 6:33; Colossians 1:13; John 4:35
OVERVIEW
This week we explored the Kingdom of God—the most talked-about subject in Jesus' ministry. We learned that the Kingdom represents "life as God intends it to be" and that when we align our thinking with a Kingdom mindset, we truly connect to God's greater purpose.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Part 1: Where We Were
1. Reflecting on the Past: What does it mean that we were once in the "domain of darkness"? How does remembering where we were before Christ affect your gratitude and perspective today?
2. Understanding Rescue: Pastor Darren said, "People without Jesus need rescue more than we could ever imagine." Why is it important to view salvation as "rescue" rather than just help or improvement?
3. Personal Testimony: Can someone share briefly about their "transfer" from darkness to light? What changed?
Part 2: Where We Are Going
4. Eternal Perspective: How does knowing where we're going (Revelation 21:4 - no more tears, death, mourning, crying, or pain) change how you face current struggles?
5. Living in Light of Eternity: In what practical ways can we "store up treasures in heaven" rather than on earth (Matthew 6:19-20)?
Part 3: Where We Are Now
6. The "Now But Not Yet": We live in the middle space—the Kingdom is here but not fully realized. How do you experience this tension in your daily life?
7. Kingdom vs. Church Mindset: What's the difference between having a "church mindset" and a "Kingdom mindset"? How does this shift change our approach to faith and mission?
8. Anxiety and Worry: Jesus addresses worry in Matthew 6:25-33. How does "seeking first the Kingdom" serve as an antidote to anxiety? Have you experienced this in your life?
Part 4: Look at the Fields
9. Your Personal Field: What is your "field" (work, neighborhood, family, hobbies)? Who are the people in your field who need hope, help, and rescue?
10. Expert Status: Pastor Darren said, "YOU are the experts within your fields." How does this perspective empower you differently than thinking evangelism is only for pastors or church professionals?
11. Jesus' Compassion: When Jesus looked at lost Jerusalem, he didn't yell or condemn—he wept. How should this shape our attitude toward those who don't know Christ?
