Weekend Resources
Session 1: Discussion Questions
1) During this session, what stood out to you the most?
2) Jake spoke about the story parallels from God's creation: Adam & Eve, sin & Jesus, Jesus’ death & resurrection. How do these parallels help you to see the Mission of the King (God) at work?
3) What is ‘The Kingdom’ ? Why does it matter to include in your life?
Session 2: Discussion Questions
1) During this session, what stood out to you the most?
2) How does it make you feel to know that if you’re a member of God’s Kingdom, you are now the place where heaven and earth intersect? How does this bring purpose to your life? How does the overall storyline of the Bible bring more significance to this truth?
3) Jake described the way to live the life of the Kingdom is to let the King live through you. What does that mean? How do you let the King live through you?
4) Jake mentioned that living for the Kingdom means we’re in a battle. Why is that important to remember? How are we to respond when feel like we’re losing the battle?
Session 3: Discussion Questions
1) During this session, what stood out to you the most?
2) We’re to bear God's image as Jesus bears His image in us. How can you do that in your day-to-day life?
3) Not only do we bear God's image individually, but also as a community. What would it look like for your Cru movement to bear God's image as a community of His people?
4) What is one takeaway you have from the sessions from this weekend?
Reflection Guide
As you begin this time of reflection, ask God’s Spirit to help you understand His Word. Use 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 as a way to ask the Spirit to help you discern spiritual things.
Jake said eternal life isn’t about a thing, but it’s about a person. Reflect on this truth based on John 11:25-26, John 17:3, and 1 John 5:11.
Jake brought up 2 Peter 1:3. After you’ve taken the time to read the verse, ask God to help you realize what is true about the person in Jesus’ Kingdom by reflecting on the verses below:
2 Corinthians 5:17
John 15:5
Philippians 3:20
Romans 5:1
Choose one of the following to close your reflection time:
1. If these truths make you more excited about King Jesus, write out a prayer thanking Him for all He has done for you.
2. If these truths don’t get you excited, write out a prayer asking God’s Spirit to help you see Jesus as He is talked about in the Bible.
3. If you don’t think you’re in the Kingdom, but want to be, write out a prayer asking for Jesus to make you a new creation in His Kingdom. If you don’t want to do that, write down some reasons for why you might not want to, and talk to one of your Cru leaders about those reasons later.
