INTRODUCTION: Are you left-handed, right-handed, or ambidextrous?

READ: Matthew 6:28-33, Revelation 11:15

Begin the time by praying together.

DISCUSS
1. Pastor Robert said that “left vs. right thinking is dangerous for our souls.” What do you think he meant by that?
2. How do you think Jesus “waves His hands” to get our attention to seek His kingdom first? Why is it hard to see or hear Him?
3. Practically speaking, how do you seek God’s kingdom first?
4. How can we fight the left vs.right categorization from impacting the lens through which we read our Bibles?
5. In what way would you see your life affected if you detached or loosened your grip on left vs. right thinking?
6. What are some strategies that keep you from “downgrading” someone who is on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you?
7. Give an example from your life of how you have seen the “kingdom category” of lost vs. found result in joy and compassion. How did it change you into what you were called to be?

PRAY: Thank you, for “kingdom categories” which you have given in Your word that can change me. I want to see and approach others through a lost vs. found lens. Please help me to do that and to seek Your kingdom first. I trust You to take worry from me as I do this. May Your kingdom eclipse anything that You don’t want me to see in people around me. Amen
