WORD   (25 minutes)

1. What part of Sunday’s message or this week’s reading challenged you most?
2. Read Matthew 28:18–20 and James 1:22–25. Why is it so easy to agree with the Great Commission while living as though it’s optional? Chapter 10 in the book asks whether our priorities, calendars, and conversations actually support what we say we believe. If someone observed your life, what would they conclude about how seriously you take Jesus’ mission?
3. Read Matthew 16:13–18 and Luke 19:10. What’s the difference between gathering to be strengthened and treating gathering as the ultimate destination? “Don’t mistake preparation for participation.” Where might that be happening in your own life? How could our small group encourage and equip one another to move toward people who don’t know Jesus, rather than only growing together?
4. Read Matthew 28:19–20 and 2 Timothy 2:1–2. Who are you intentionally helping move toward Jesus or grow in obedience to Him? Chapter 10 contrasts adding spectators with multiplying disciple-makers. What would change if every Christian expected to pass on what they were receiving?
5. Read Luke 7:36–50 and Luke 15:1–10. In Luke 15, Jesus describes God’s joy when the lost are found. What did Simon miss even though he was close to Jesus? On Sunday, fear, pride, judgmentalism, and indifference were named as reasons we stay silent. Which one is most likely to affect you?
6. Read Mark 2:13–17 and Mark 5:18–20. What does discipleship look like on a normal Tuesday? Who already has regular access to your life, and what would it look like to move from small talk to soul talk with that person?
7. Read Matthew 28:18–20 and Acts 1:8. Can Jesus Use Me Even If I Don’t Feel Ready? What would you do differently this week if you genuinely believed Jesus was present and working as you obeyed Him?

WORKS (25 minutes)
