The Text in Context

In this video, scholar N.T. Wright goes deeper into the translation of our passage this week and how crucial it is to understanding what Jesus is communicating about the Kingdom of God.

Next Steps

Growth Group / Personal Reflection Questions

1. How have you thought of purpose and meaning throughout your life? What influenced you in understanding purpose and meaning? (parents, culture, etc.)

2. Have you ever questioned the purpose of what you were doing in life? How did that feel? How did you respond to those feelings?

3. How have you thought about the Kingdom of God? What does it mean to you? How does understanding the Kingdom of God as something among us change or challenge your thinking?

4. What do you think it means to participate in the Kingdom of God? How does it feel to know that God invites us into coming alongside him as he builds the Kingdom of God?

5. If we reframe our lives as participating in the Kingdom of God, how does that change your everyday routine? Do you understand what you are doing in a new way, are there things you need to change because they don't serve God's kingdom?

6. How can life become more meaningful for you by participating in the kingdom of God?
