The Narrow way

What’s an area in your life where you realize you are just going with the flow? What’s an area in your life where you realize that you are consciously choosing to do what Jesus says? What’s the hardest thing for you about following Jesus?

Do To Others

How would you characterize the state of your relationship with God? What others do you need to do to differently this week? How might God be calling you into partnership with him?

Choose a Side

What do you treasure? Do you see yourself as a steward or an owner of your resources? How will you know when enough is enough?

The Importance of Forgiveness

In what ways is thinking of God as a Father, challenging or comforting to you? In what ways do you have trouble trusting God to provide what you need? How can you be a bringer of the kingdom into your spheres of influence?

Don’t Put On A Show

How would playing to an “Audience of One” affect how you live your life? What role does impressing people play in your life? How are you becoming the type of person Jesus describes in this passage?

Dealing With Difficult People

In what ways are you the kind of person Jesus is talking about? If people were to look at how you treat people, what would they learn about God? Who is a challenge for you to care about?

Sexual Ethic

What is more characteristic of your inner reality, love or lust? What is one step you could take this week to move away from lust? How does Jesus’ view of divorce change how you view marriage?

Treating Each Other Well

What is most likely to make you angry? What is one thing you could do that would be more constructive than anger? In what relationship do you need to seek reconciliation?

Salt & Light

How is the identity God gives you different from the way you view yourself? What is one way you can bring some salt and light to your sphere of influence this week? If you were to point to one thing in your life as an example of how you’ve been changed by following Jesus, what would it be?

The Kingdom Ethic

What will it take to make you happy? Which beatitude do you most identify with? Who in your heart of hearts do you believe is unblessable?

Finding the way

What is troubling your heart? What does it mean to you that Jesus will love you to the end? What is one thing you can do to get closer to Jesus?
