Blackaby's vision ultimately stretches beyond the individual and even beyond the local church — the goal is the Kingdom of God, a reign that is already present and still coming. This chapter calls us to be people whose whole lives are shaped by that larger story.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Blackaby describes 'Kingdom people' as those whose primary loyalty is to God's reign rather than to their own comfort, their local church's success, or even their nation's interests. How does that description sit with you — does it describe you?
2.The chapter draws on Matthew 6:33 — 'Seek first the kingdom of God' — as the organizing principle of the Kingdom life. What does it look like, in daily practice, to seek the Kingdom *first* rather than alongside everything else?
3.Blackaby emphasizes that the Kingdom is both 'already' and 'not yet' — it is present wherever God reigns in human hearts, and it is still coming in its fullness. How does holding both of those realities shape the way you engage with suffering, injustice, and the brokenness of the world?
a.Does the 'not yet' tempt you toward passivity? Why or why not?
b.Does the 'already' give you hope for change here and now? Where?
