Week 2

From beginning to end of Jesus’ time on this earth the kingdom of God was a subject He could not stop talking about. It was one of the first things He proclaimed there on the banks of the Jordan. It was what He told His disciples about even after His resurrection. It was proclaimed through parables, subtly mentioned in prayers. But what is it? Kingdom Come is an invitation for all of us to engage Jesus’ invitation to allow His goodness and grace to increasingly rule every area of our hearts so that good news multiplies from every heart and every home; beginning with ours. 

“Jesus interpreted His first parable to help His disciples understand it and the others that followed. If the disciples understood this parable, they could understand the others that followed. “The principle taught by the parable is this: reception of the word of the kingdom in one’s heart produces more understanding and revelation of the kingdom.”  – Constable’s Notes  

*In the Discipleship Guide you will find basic questions we want all to use as they begin to look at the passage. Questions such as; Who have you had the opportunity to BLESS this week? What does this passage reveal about God? About people? About the life He has planned for us? These additional questions relate to the passage specifically for your benefit.  

1. Which soil would you say you are currently? Why does that resonate with you in this season? Which soil do you want to be, honestly?   

2. Of the four “threats” to fourth soil fruitfulness, which one is your biggest challenge? Could you rank them (Reminder, the four threats are divided, disconnected, distracted, and deceived by wealth)?  

3. Is there something you need to add, take away, protect, or elevate to avoid the temptation that these threats currently pose to your walk with the Lord?
