Chosen Reveal Weekend

Opening: Share a story about the coolest place you’ve ever been. Share about a time someone has helped you when you’ve been in need. What was that experience like? Scripture: Read Matthew 13:31-45. What attributes are these parables trying to communicate about the Kingdom of God? When we say the Kingdom of God/heaven what do we mean? Where have you seen the Kingdom? Read Ephesians 1:15-23. What is Paul saying about Jesus in this passage? How does he connect it to the church (us)? What are the implications of the church being Christ’s body through which he speaks and acts (Ephesians 1:23, MSG version)? Does that change how you view “being the church at all?” Live it Out: Is there a way in which God is calling you to move from surviving to thriving? If you are Christ’s body, what is a way that Christ is calling you to represent him in the world this week? How can you bring a seed of the Kingdom? Close in prayer
