THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: A NEW KINGDOM
Proclaiming the Kingdom
Luke 9:1-17
Knowing Jesus leads us to want him to be our king.
Jesus' kingdom is a kingdom of power and authority, grace and mercy, love and compassion. When he reveals himself to us it leaves us not just acknowledging that he is the one true King, but wanting him to be our King. And as our king he has sent us to proclaim his kingdom that all those around us might come to know him too.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. What initially comes to mind when you think of the concept of a "kingdom"?
2. What does Jesus revelation of himself through his life and death teach you about the nature of his kingdom?
3. Are you looking to recognize big movements of God and participate in them by the power of his Spirit? How might you grow in sensitivity?
4. Are you looking for opportunities to proclaim God's Kingdom even in inconvenient moments? How might you grow in awareness?
5. Are you looking for opportunities to proclaim God's Kingdom through his provision for daily needs? How might prayer help fuel the proclamation of the kingdom in each of these contexts?
