TODAY:

Sermon on the Mount: Part 3 - Matters of the Heart

BIG IDEA:

God’s grace should transform us so deeply that righteousness flows from our hearts to our hands.

SCRIPTURES:

Matthew 5:21-32

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: How do the Scriptures/concepts from this week help you grow as a disciple who loves God, loves people & serves the world (lives on incarnational mission) in everyday life?

Q: Based on these Scriptures, how can you move from unbelief to belief, from just knowing to actually doing in your life?

Be With Jesus / Love God (UP)...

Q: Even if murder, adultery, or divorce don’t directly address things in your life, what heart position do you sense Jesus’ examples pointing out in you?

Q: What things did God reveal that he might be softening you to prepare for an inward change?

Become Like Jesus / Love People (IN)...

Q: Is it possible to change inwardly but then not have that lived out towards others?

Q: Are there people you need to reconcile with because of God’s work and reconciliation in your own life?

ACTION STEPS

Stop asking “Am I doing anything wrong?” start asking, “How is God calling me to change?”
