Publisher's Synopsis
The Kingdom: Student Book is a five session Bible study for all youth designed to be used as a short-term Bible study, or in a DNOW setting.The "kingdom of God" is found throughout Scripture and is a primary focus of Christ's teachings. But what does the kingdom of God really mean to us? How do we enter the Kingdom? Is the Kingdom here? Is it coming? This study will help you answer these questions and discover glorious truths about the kingdom of God.In Matthew 6, Jesus shared profound truths with the multitudes gathered to hear His message. In that sermon, Jesus included what has become known as the Lord's Prayer and modeled what an effective and powerful prayer life should focus on. He said in verse 10, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". While the Lord's Prayer has become a central prayer in the lives of Christians, the kingdom of God concept is one that is often misunderstood. This study will take an in-depth look at what it means to be a part of God's Kingdom and to live our lives with an eternal mind-set!Sessions: Session 1: King of the Kingdom Session 2: Enemies of the Kingdom Session 3: Citizens of the Kingdom Session 4: Completion of the Kingdom Session 5: Mission of the KingdomAuthor:Chris Kinsley serves as the Communications Director for The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama.
