Gathering | Kingdom Life

CORE PRACTICES

1. Jesus is King – Jesus’ kingship demands ultimate allegiance, placing Him above all political, economic, and cultural authorities. When Jesus is at the center, religion, government, and consumerism are put in their rightful places. (Philippians 2:9-11)

2. Disciple Making – We don’t just teach about Jesus; we call people to follow Him by being with Him, doing what He did, and becoming like Him. True discipleship is a way of life, multiplying through intimate relationships, not just mass instruction. (Matthew 28:19-20)

3. Missionary Lifestyle – As Jesus was sent by the Father, we are sent into the world to bring His kingdom wherever we are. Instead of extracting people from the world, we embed ourselves in their lives, bringing Jesus to them. (John 20:21; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23)

4. Organic Sustainable Practices – Healthy, multiplying communities grow naturally through simple, decentralized, and reproducible methods. Like a seed that produces more seeds, every new community carries the potential to multiply. (Mark 4:26-29)

5. Revolutionary Community – We are a countercultural people bonded by faith, taking risks together for a vision of a better world. True community thrives when dependence on God and one another is essential. (1 Corinthians 15:30-31)

6. Empowering Every Believer – Every believer has a role and calling, contributing their unique gifts to the fullness of Christ in their community. A movement thrives when leadership is shared, preventing imbalance and fostering growth. (Ephesians 4:11-12)

MISSIONAL STRATEGY

Target: People you already come into contact with in your daily life. - Acts 17:26,27

Four Uniques:

1. We focus on learning and practicing the way Jesus lived instead of only intellectually understanding the Bible.

2. Small, comfortable, safe, and relaxed relational environment around a table in a home

3. Not one person monologues, authentic small group discussion where you contribute and can be heard

4. Outward focused on how we can love and serve the people we know

Proven Process: Look Back, Look Down Inside, Look Up, Look Forward

The Lion and The Lamb

He's coming on the clouds

He's coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

And our God is the lion
The Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the lamb
The lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the lion and the lamb
Every knee will bow before Him (yeah)

So, open up the gates

So, open up the gates
Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

Our God is the lion
The Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the lamb
The lamb that was slain
For the sin of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the lion and the lamb
Every knee will bow before Him

"How many here believe
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
And then"

For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
No one
Who can stop
Sing it over the battle

"Yeah, that's it"

Who can stop the Lord Almighty
There is no one
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord (yeah)

Every knee will bow
Tongue confess

For the Sake of the World

I'm laying down my life
I'm giving up control
I'm never looking back
I surrender all
I'm living for Your glory on the Earth

This passion in my heart
This stirring in my soul
To see the nations bow
For all the world to know
I'm living for Your glory on the Earth
