Have everyone share a highlight and a challenge from their week.
Follow-up: Last week we ended by asking what God was leading you to do. Did you take a step toward that? How did it go?
What stood out to you from this week's message?
Was there a specific scripture, quote, or idea that challenged or encouraged you?
Matthew 7:7-11 (NLT)
7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
What does this passage reveal about God?
What does it reveal about humanity?
Follow Jesus: How can you deepen your trust in God’s promise to answer when you ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7-8)?
Be Changed by Jesus: In what ways can you allow God to change your perspective on what you ask for in prayer (Matthew 7:9-10)?
On Mission with Jesus: How can you show the same generosity to others that God shows to you (Matthew 7:11)?
What is God asking your next step of application to be this week? Pray together for each other's application.
Leader Note: Write down the application/prayer for everyone to reference next week.
