Q: When you see something that’s out of place, do you typically think
“someone needs to fix that”, or jump in & see how you can help?
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?

Q: Read Matthew 19:13-30. How well do you know God’s heart & what He
loves, wants & cares about? How much do you think about molding your
heart & desires to His?
Q: Read Matthew 20:17-23. How is this an example of completely missing the
point because they were thinking of self instead of service?
Connect with Others (IN)…
Q: Read Matthew 20:25-28. Jesus says His followers are called to be different

Q: Whare some specific needs of the world around you (family, friends,
