Airplane Mode #1 Reality Check INTRODUCTION Our view of the "real world" impacts our behavior in the world. The Lord's Prayer brings us back home - to the realest place on earth: The Kingdom.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Share a time when life was busy and you knowingly put Jesus on hold. 2. How do you spend your time? What portion of your time after sleeping, eating and bathroom breaks do you spend with God? 3. How does this reality make you think differently about how you will spend your "extra" hours this week? 4. How did you feel during this time? How did you bring your focus back to God and His will? 5. Read Luke 15:11-32. Share a time you felt a welcome like this upon returning home to God. 6. Jesus used The Lord's Prayer to teach his disciples (and us) how to pray. Many of us still feel uncomfortable when praying aloud. As a group, personalize this prayer as Mitch did. Divvy it up and use it as a guide to say a group prayer. Encourage one another if uncomfortable when doing so out loud.

MOVING FORWARD After sharing some ways and times that we have put our relationship with God on airplane mode, make a plan for how you will actively seek him.

CHANGING YOUR MIND Matthew 6:9-10 (CSB) 9 "Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, your name be honored as holy. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done.
