What Jesus Said We Are to Pursue

Mission Focused Men for Christ

Summary: This episode provides a biblical definition of the term kingdom of God and when that becomes clear, we will see why Jesus said that PURSUING THE KINGDOM OF GOD is the most valuable objective anyone could ever build his life around!

For further prayerful thought.

1. Why is seeking the kingdom of God like a pearl merchant pursuing and finding a fabulous pearl?
2. What Scripture comes to mind to support the idea that the kingdom where Jesus wants righteousness to prevail is Adam’s kingdom, earth?
3. How would you answer, the objection, “seeking righteousness” is at its core depending upon yourself instead of Christ?
4. We saw that a clear understanding of our mission to seek first the kingdom of God leads to a) sharing the gospel, b) a high view of “secular” work, c) a high view of the physical word, d) realizing that salvation is not about escaping from the world but engaging the world seeking to spread Christ’s righteousness, e) that as agents of reconciliation Christians are to help others restore their relationship with themselves, God, others, and creation. Which of these five do you most want to remember from this episode? Why?
