All throughout this series on the Sermon on the Mount, we’ve heard about how Jesus is explaining what Kingdom people look like. We are being formed daily by how we choose to live.
Think back through the teachings these past several months. If you are a note taker, pull them out! How have you seen good fruit being produced in your life?
How have you seen God to be a good Father who has given you good gifts?
List out some of the things that you are thankful to your heavenly Father for:
From the sermon about worry, in what ways were you challenged to focus on the kingdom?
Jesus asks us to assess where our hearts are focused, and who is our master. How do you assess this in your own life?
How have you come to decisions related to your giving?
In what ways has your walk with Jesus been influenced by your prayer or fasting times?
Consider praying through the Lord’s Prayer several times this week. How could you incorporate this into your prayer routine?
From this section, who are some of the people being protected behind these prohibitions?
Jesus is challenging us beyond external conformity in each of these sections. How have you seen Him raise the bar in your own life?
This week we are going to review the Sermon on the Mount as we will finish the preaching series this coming Sunday.
We won’t have many questions but will spend more time on reflection and remembering ways that the Spirit has convicted each of us personally during these sermons.
If these characteristics in the Beatitudes are a “redefinition of who the people of God are”, how are you seeing them redefine you?
We heard in the sermons that “faithfully following Jesus normally costs us something.” Where have you seen this cost in your own life?
