Session Focus
In this session, we’ll explore how we can live in overflow by understanding our identity in Christ, recognizing the Kingdom within us, and releasing it through love. 
The key to walking in power, love, and joy is knowing who we are and what we carry.

1. Jesus’ Mountain Experience and the Power of Faith
(Matthew 17:1-8, 14-20)

After spending time on the mountain with the Father, Jesus returned to find His disciples unable to heal a boy. He mentioned their faith was too small.
Discussion Question: Why do you think the disciples struggled? What does Jesus mean by
“faith the size of a mustard seed”?

2. Know Who You Are – Your Identity in Christ
(Matthew 6:10 and Luke 17:21)

Jesus was confident in His identity as the Son of God, which gave Him authority and power.
Discussion Question: How does knowing your identity in Christ help you face challenges?

3. The Kingdom is Within You – Releasing the Kingdom
(Matthew 6:10 and Luke 17:21)

Jesus teaches us to pray, “Your Kingdom come,” inviting us to bring heaven to earth now, through us.
