    TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

    1. Take Sides With God’s Kingdom

    (10 min.)

    [Play the VIDEO Introduction to Psalms.]

    Human governments have made themselves rivals of God’s Kingdom (Ps 2:2; w21.09 15 ¶8)

    Jehovah is giving all people a window of opportunity to take sides with his Kingdom (Ps 2:10-12)

    Collage: 1. A group of angry people hold signs and protest. 2. A man cheers and holds a flag up at a sporting event. 3. A student recites a pledge of allegiance. 4. A soldier holds a machine gun. 5. Two political candidates debate. 6. A woman puts her vote in a ballot box.

    ASK YOURSELF, ‘Am I determined to remain neutral with regard to every aspect of this world’s political affairs, even if it could mean facing hardship?’​—w16.04 29 ¶11.
