THY KINGDOM COME<br />

session 10 121<br />

WATCH THE DVD FOR THIS SESSION AND<br />

CAPTURE THOUGHTS YOU WANT TO REMEM-<br />

BER ABOUT THIS WEEK’S TEACHING.<br />

GROWING<br />

TOGETHER<br />

As young kids we want to be picked for the<br />

team. We want access to the clubhouse—<br />

especially if there’s a secret handshake. As we<br />

get older we want to be one of the cool kids,<br />

and it’s very important who we sit with at lunch.<br />

After school we want to beat others out for the<br />

best jobs with the best perks and benefits, live<br />

in the best communities, get our kids in the best<br />

schools and be thought of as successful.<br />

Our society creates countless ways to keep<br />

people out. There’s always some group we can’t<br />

join or some VIP line we can’t cross. Fortunately,<br />

the kingdom of God doesn’t work that way.<br />

While the kingdom can be a confusing place,<br />

with new customs and strange sayings, it’s also<br />

the best place—and the king wants everyone<br />

to be part of it. You don’t have to have designer<br />

clothes. You don’t have to write an essay or fill<br />

out an application. You don’t even have to have<br />

any money. He’s chosen YOU for the team—<br />

and now it’s time for you to get in the game.<br />

AFTER WATCHING THE DVD, DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING:<br />

Why do you think we have such a tendency to group people into categories?<br />

How can sin keep us out of the kingdom?<br />

How did Jesus “pay the expenses” for you to join the kingdom?
