Getting Started
- Would you rather listen to music from the ’70s or music from today?
- Would you rather become someone else or just stay you
- Would you rather be Batman or Spiderman?
- Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?
Digging In
- Read through Luke 12:22-34. What are some similarities and differences between this passage and Matthew 6:25-34? Are there any added insights that comparing these passages brings to the overall message?
Discuss
- How do you imagine Jesus’ tone of voice when he says, “do not be anxious about your life” (Do you hear it as it harsh or condemning? Or do you hear it as Gentle? Compassionate? Or loving?) and why?
- Why do you think it so much easier to worry than to trust in God’s provision?
- How do we, in 2021, actively seek God’s kingdom and righteousness?
Prayer
The Bible says, in Philippians 4:6-7,
NET translation – “Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds[e] in Christ Jesus.”
MSG translation – Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”)
As a small group, (or groups of 3 or 4), let’s put this passage into practice! Share your requests with one another, and pray for each other. Thank God for who he is and what he has done, give the Lord your worries and anxieties, and let his peace guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
