WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD SERIES?

The Kingdom of God Series is a free, simple, and reproducible resource for leading others through the story of Scripture and into life in Christ.

Designed to be used in homes, around tables, and in small gatherings,
it provides content that can be passed from one person to another—so that disciples apprentice disciples and the life of Christ continues to reproduce from one life to another.

HOW TO USE THIS SITE

PRAYER

Everything begins with prayer and is sustained by prayer.

01 - LISTEN

Listen well. Ask questions. Seek to understand where the person is and what may be happening in their life before deciding which resources might be helpful.

Start with the person, not a program.

02 - CHOOSE

Choose what will serve those you are walking with.

Consider where the people you are walking with are and choose accordingly. PLOW offers resources to prepare the heart, PLANT proclaims the good news about Jesus and the Kingdom of God, and PRODUCE provides resources for continuing to follow Jesus.

All content is designed to function within the meeting structure desrcribed below.

03 - GATHER

Come together around Jesus.

When using the studies, follow “A Simple Way to Gather” described below.
The gathering is centered on three movements: GATHER · HEAR · RESPOND.
The content has been designed to function within the HEAR section of the gathering.

The meeting structure is designed to serve the goal of transformation, not merely the transfer of information.
It creates space to hear from God through Scripture, respond in obedience, pray for one another, and walk together as we learn to follow Jesus.

Pray. Listen. Walk together. Trust God for the fruit.

Then continue the work faithfully, relying on the strength God promises to supply.

A SIMPLE WAY TO GATHER

The Kingdom of God Series is designed to be practiced together, not simply studied.

Each study follows a simple, reproducible meeting structure in which disciples pray together, share what God is doing in their lives, discover truth in Scripture, discern how they will obey Jesus, and prayerfully consider who they will share with.
