Your Kingdom nature — Your Kingdom nature assumes what you do matters because God has asked you to be a part of His story. While He doesn’t need you to accomplish His plan, you have the privilege to participate. But the pressure is off because even when you mess up, God will not condemn you
(Romans 8:1).There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (ESV) Through the way you live your life, a world that desperately needs to know God is able to get glimpses of who He is and His plan of redemption. You matter because you flavor this world as God’s seasoning, and you reflect His light in darkness (Matthew 5:13-16).“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (ESV) |
Coach: Ask your student to read out-loud the text on the left here and then ask them to tell you which parts of this makes sense and why, and if any parts do not seem right, and why.
(NOTE TO COACH: Remember, be careful NOT to correct or even comment on your student's answers, except to say "What else?" if their answer is too brief.) |
Coach: After viewing the above video, have your student refer to their written answers from the first four questions from page one (“What makes a trial in my life a trial?” … ). Ask them to discuss which parts of their answers reflect their Fallen nature, and which parts of their answers reflect their Kingdom nature.
