Sunday, May 21, 2017 ~ Matthew 19

  1. Different geography (verse 1) but the same religious test (3). What is the point of this test? What does Jesus do with it?
  2. How did marriage originally work (4-6)? Why was it altered (8)?
  3. If you have a hard heart, are you fit for marriage or any healthy relationship (10)?
  4. How are the childlike the opposite (14) of the hard-hearted, testing adults of chapter 19?
  5. How did the man know he was lacking (16 & 20)? Why did he go away sad (22)?
  6. Why did Jesus focus on the “one thing” instead of all the stuff the man was doing right? Ask Jesus if you have something holding you back from the kingdom.
  7. Is there a relationship between that one thing you won’t do for Jesus and heart hardening?
  8. What have you given up to follow Jesus? Are you getting softer or harder as you age?
