The Unexpected Kingdom. 

Vision Sunday, September 13, 2026

Hook - 

• Tell us about a time when God did something in your life in a completely unexpected way.  

• Why do you think God chose to do it in that way?

Book - Read aloud John 12:12-19 and Zechariah 9:9-10.  

• Why do you think that Jesus’ disciples could not see the implications of Jesus riding in on the colt of a donkey at the time?  

• How is this different than what they had expected and hoped for? 

Look - Keith spoke of the Unexpected Kingdom.

• What does Jesus’ approach of humbly and sacrificially offering peace to the world mean to you?

• How can you participate with Jesus in doing that in your situation? 

Took - Keith once again shared the Grace Church Vision: 

“We will see God bring more of Heaven to earth, transforming our region through spiritual families who love like Jesus.”

• How can you personally make this more central in your life?  

• How can we more effectively do this together in this spiritual family? 

Prayer- 

• (10 minutes) Start by asking the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Then wait. What is God saying about your discussion today? Pray as the Holy Spirit leads.

• Ask God to bind your spiritual family together in his love and in his purposes. 

• Thank God for including us in his plan to reach the world
