Zion :: Heaven

• Clean hands and cover their mouths when they cough. :)

• Kingdom Worker Cards

  • Find out who has opened their Kingdom Worker Cards from Collision.

  • Explain them for students who weren’t able to come and ask if they’d like one.

  • Celebrate anyone working on theirs and ask how you can help.

• Heaven

  • Start by watching this video

• Discuss the video

  • Have the students try to describe what it means when we say Heaven on Earth.
    

• Talk about what they think we will do when we go to Zion.

  • Read Revelation 19:6-8

    • We are the bride (The church)

      • What do these passages tell us about what we will be doing in Zion?

      • Which of those things can we not be doing now?

• Tell the students this story: So there was this smart guy a long time ago. He had a young man come to him and ask “How can I acquire wisdom and knowledge?” so he had him follow him down to the shore line and they walked into the water. The young man followed until they were like shoulder deep. Then the smart guy turned and immediately shoved the young guys head under water. The young man fought and struggled with everything he had. And just before he blacked out the smart guy pulled him above water. The young man gulped the air in breathing as heavily as he could. And then he yelled at the smart guy “What's the deal man you tryna kill me?” He said nah if I wanted you dead I wouldn’t have pulled you up. The lesson is this once you want wisdom and knowledge

  As badly as you wanted that first breath then you will have it”.

  • The young man was waiting but why? Was he afraid, was he told he couldn't have it yet, was he pretending, or was he living in only the not yet?

  • If we replace knowledge and wisdom in this story with Heaven and we put ourselves in the shoes of the young man what can we learn?

    • We should be asking ourselves do we desire Heaven on earth as badly as my very next breath.?

      • Do we desire that our lives be filled with the things of Heaven.

        • Praise, Worship, Prayer, Declaration of our King, Surrender, ETC.

  • At the beginning of the church at the beginning of Heaven on earth. Jesus has ascended back into the spiritual realm and his followers are here and are praying about the work God is about to do even amidst his enemies.

  • Read Acts 4:29-35 to the students

    • What Does this scripture mean when you consider this is the beginning of Heaven on earth?

    • What do you think would happen if we lived like this now?

    • What keeps us from doing it?

    • What is one thing we can do this week to live in Heaven on Earth?

We will know we have hit our target if:

-Students leave with a better grasp on how we are Heaven on Earth.

-Students are moving towards a faith that desires Heaven now and Zion in the future.

-We all leave with one thing we can do this week to live heaven on earth.

-Students are keeping their kingdom worker cards in front of them..
