As a group recite the Lord’s Prayer together (Matthew 6:9-13)

According to 1 Thessalonians 2:12, where is God calling us?

• How does the way we live our lives reflect our belief in God’s kingdom?

• Why does our outward behavior matter for those who might not believe in the power of Christ?

• Share some keywords describing a life that belongs to God.

1 Corinthians 4:20 defines the Kingdom of God by saying what it is, and what it is not. Compare and contrast the two ideas.

• It can be said that living by God’s power means expecting God to work in your life. What strengthens a believer’s faith in God?

• God blesses people who depend upon him. Share a specific circumstance in your life where you learned to depend upon the Lord.
