Main Ideas:
We try to control our fear by creating our own personal kingdoms.
Relying on our own kingdoms only creates more fear and conflict.
We are invited to let go and live in the Kingdom of God.
Fighting for our own kingdoms causes us to pick stupid fights.
When we try to rule our own kingdoms we inflate our own importance.
The Kingdom of God is God ruling in the hearts, minds, and lives of his people.
In the Kingdom of God, we are free to enjoy the king and his kingdom.
The Kingdom of God is the only Kingdom that lasts forever.
When we live for our own kingdoms we lose who we really are.
When we live for the Kingdom of God we find true life we can never lose.
Invitation:
Focus on the true King and his Kingdom by reading and praying Matthew 6:9-13
Ask: Who’s kingdom am I living for? Mine or God’s?
Discussion Questions:
- What sticks out to you, encourages, or excites you about this week’s message? What makes you uncomfortable, seems untrue, frustrates, or confuses you?
- What are some “sandcastles” we try to build for a sense of control or security?
- Read Matthew 6:9-13. How could reading and praying this regularly help us let go and live in and for God’s Kingdom?
- What’s one area of life where you feel God is calling you to let go of control?
- How can your group pray with you this week?
