Matthew 22:1-22 Charlie preaches from the English Standard Version Bible (ESV) ©2001 LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS… ‘Getting to know you…’What comes to mind when you hear the word “entitled?” Have you ever felt entitled to something? Read Matthew 21:33-46 (Questions based on the English Standard Version© (ESV) Bible, 2001)As you prepare for this week’s Life Group, 1-Carefully consider what this passage is saying (observation); 2-Ask, ‘who, what, when, where, why & how?’ (interpretation); 3-Consider what it means for us now (application). Questions…1. Read verses 33-36. From your knowledge of the Old Testament, who were some of the prophets that were rejected by the people? 2. Read verses 37-41. Why would they think they would receive the heir’s inheritance by killing the son? Now consider the response of the crowd to this parable. Why do you think their outrage towards the actions of the tenants in the parable did not translate towards their own actions to God? 3. Read verses 42-46. Consider Jesus’ ministry on earth, how He was rejected and killed, yet became “The Cornerstone.” How does this help us define “success” in our Christian lives? GROW…What “vineyards” are you a tenant of? What fruit is God expecting you to produce for Him? GO…Read John 15:18-27. Why, considering this passage, is it so important that we be Empowered by the Holy Spirit as we Go to our Worlds? Pray for each other as you go to Your Worlds this week.
