APPLYING WHAT YOU LEARNED: ASSIGNMENT #6 - Define The Kingdom of God
For the Opening Discussion of Session 7, be prepared to do two things: first, share your definition of the kingdom of God, and second, explain (with specific examples when necessary) how you can seek the Kingdom of God in your marriage. Don’t get “intensely academic” with your definitions. In other words, keep your answers short, simple, and applied to everyday life. They should come out of your own struggles and experiences, not out of a doctrinal statement or theological textbook. 1) What is the Kingdom of God?
2) How can you seek the Kingdom of God in your marriage?
PERSONAL REFLECTION: Where have I been pursuing earth-bound treasures and neglecting my spouse? What am I telling myself that I need in life, when it’s simply just a desire? If I don’t receive something that I named as a need , do I get angry with God?
Supplemental Reading: WDYE Chapter 15 1 Timothy 6:6-19
END OF SESSION
6. Treasure (II) 28
APPLYING WHAT YOU LEARNED: The Opening Discussion of Session 7 will ask participants to share their definition of the Kingdom of God; encourage them to spend time defining this phrase. Paul Tripp will have already hit on the “spiritual platitudes” theme to end Session 6, but remind your group that there’s no need to “show off” when they share their definition. Lofty and complex academic definitions are rarely helpful to others, and theology needs to be practically applied to be good theology.
