TITLE: FRESH OIL
TEXT: Matthew 24:3-8 & Matthew 25:1-13
HOPE:
• What is one thing you sensed God speak to you this week?
HEAD:
• Read Matthew 24:3-8. Then go around and discuss some observations of the text. What jumps out to you in this passage? Why do you think that caught your attention? Is there anything in this passage you like or dislike? Why?
• Read Matthew 25:1-13. Go around and share one observation from the text. Then discuss: What do you think the Ten Virgins represent? Who do you think the bridegroom is? What do you think the oil represents?
HEART:
• Did you have any thoughts or questions from last week's sermon?
• When talking about the signs of the End of the Age, Jesus says see that you are not alarmed, What does it mean to be alarmed? How can we refrain from alarm when we see terrible things going on in our world?
• In what ways are you more like the foolish virgins? In what ways are you more like the wise virgins?
HANDS:
• How does the unexpectedness of Christ's return influence your daily spiritual discipline? What is one practical step or change that you can make this week?
HELP:
• As we seek to grow in Jesus together, how can we help you practice what you committed to do today? Is there an area where we can support you in prayer?
