What stood out?
Go around the room. Each person reads one thing they marked. If you know why it stood out, say so. If you don’t, “it just stood out” is a complete answer. Nobody explains, nobody corrects.

The Kingdom and the Future
The final session highlights our future hope in God’s Kingdom, when He will fully reign, bringing renewal, peace, and justice to all creation. While the future can feel uncertain, Jesus offers a lasting hope that anchors us. Just as we anticipate life events, we are called to live now in anticipation of God’s full restoration.
- Jesus will return to fully establish God’s Kingdom, bringing justice and peace.
- We live in the “already but not yet” of the Kingdom, shaping our daily choices in hope.
- The Kingdom is an invitation for all to experience God’s eternal reign.
Read this one out loud.

Let’s pray together
- What’s something in your life where you need to trust God for the future? How can we pray for each other to live in hope and expectation of His Kingdom?
Leave space for silence, listening, and Spirit-led prayer. If someone senses a word, a Scripture, or a picture for another, offer it gently and pray into it.
Let’s pray
Breakthrough is when God's Kingdom breaks into your reality: His healing where there is pain, His freedom where there is bondage, His presence where there is loneliness. Jesus is King; His freedom, peace and purpose are available now. Pray from that Kingdom, not toward it.
Be still for a moment. Open your hands and simply pray: “Come, Holy Spirit.”
Ask: “What do You want me to know right now? What were You highlighting when I marked the passage?” Stay open to a word, a Scripture, a picture, or a prompting.
Pray boldly into what He shows you. Ask for His Kingdom in the specific places this session touched:
- Name the thing in your life where you need to trust God for the future. Then pray to live in hope and expectation of His Kingdom while that thing is still unsettled.
You can pray more than once. Stay present, and trust that God is at work. Take your time; there is no hurry.
Choose one. Say it out loud so someone else hears it.
Next time you gather, share what you practiced and how God used it, not for pressure but for encouragement.
The reminder downloads as a calendar event. Open it and it lands on your calendar for tomorrow morning.
Done.
Our hope in God’s Kingdom shapes how we live today.
