2. According to the Sermon on the Mount, what are some fruit(s) that we should expect in our lives as we become more deeply rooted in Jesus?

3. Read Matthew 7:21-23
- 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
-What thoughts/emotions/questions does this text bring up for you?  What makes this text potentially unsettling?

4. How can it be possible to have apparent fruit in our lives when we are not truly rooted in Jesus?  How is it that we can live self deception?

5. How can we know for sure that we are doing the will of the Father?  How can we learn to hear and respond to the voice of God in our life?

6. How have you experienced God speaking to you through the Holy Spirit?

Reflection Questions:

7. Psalm 56:8 (NLT) You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.You have recorded each one in your book.

8. The goal of prayer is for us experience God’s PRESENCE rather than just receive God’s PRESENTS.  Agree or Disagree?  Why?

Prayer As Presents OR Presence?

Journey Church November 17, 2024 7:50 pm

Do Not Judge

Journey Church November 10, 2024 1:19 pm

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 3, 2024

Reflection Questions: 
1.  What are the things that cause worry for people these days?  What are the things that cause worry for you?
2.  Jesus asked, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”  What point is Jesus trying to make about worry?  What does worry produce in our life that don’t want?
3.  Jesus said that “your heavenly Father knows that you need them.”  What difference would it make in your life if you knew without a doubt that the Father knew and understood what you were going through, even if your circumstances didn’t change?
4.  Jesus tells us that worry is evidence of a faith problem.  How does worry indicate that we are viewing something incorrectly about our heavenly Father?
5.  Read Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  ---  Why does a heart of gratitude (thanksgiving) help remove a heart of worry?  How can you tangibly practice gratitude when you are worried?
6.  Read Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 
---  How can we learn to “think about what we think about”?  How can we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ?  How can guard ourselves from the thoughts and ideas of the world that cultivate worry in our souls?
