Takeaways:

For the Kingdom

• The Kingdom of Me is in direct opposition to the Kingdom of God
• A Jesus movement is for the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of self

Wait for the Spirit

• A Jesus movement relies or waits on the Holy Spirit
• Any kind of ministry we try to do is pointless without the power and work of the Holy Spirit

Mission

• Wait for the Spirit, then go! We are to be witnesses, expand the kingdom, and share the good news
• To be part of a movement, we have to move. A church on the move is focused on mission.
• We have the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have the power of the Holy Spirit, and our commission is to go.

Discussion Questions:

• Why do you think people try to do ministry in their own strength rather than relying on the Holy Spirit? How do we rely?
• Why do we struggle to believe what Jesus said about losing our life to find it is actually true?
• If you were somehow able to decode all the current events of the world and understand all the biblical prophecy, what would you do with that information?
• How does it make you feel to know that Jesus invites you to be part of his global movement of spreading the gospel to all nations?
