Small Group Discussion Questions
Have you ever experienced or witnessed a situation where ignoring good advice led to a bad outcome? How does that relate to Jesus’ parable of the two builders?
Read Matthew 7:24-29 aloud. What does Jesus mean by ‘hearing and doing’ His words? How is this different from just hearing or performing religious acts, as mentioned in Matthew 7:21-23?
Think of a time when you faced a ‘storm’ in life (a trial, loss, or challenge). How did your faith in Jesus help you stand firm, or what did you learn about your foundation that you want to strengthen?
The sermon describes an ‘upside-down kingdom’ that is really ‘right-side up’—a life of flourishing through obedience to Jesus. What’s one area of your life (e.g., priorities, relationships, time) where you feel challenged to align with Jesus’ teachings instead of the world’s values?
What’s one takeaway or something you have learned from this whole series on the Upside Down Kingdom through the Sermon on the Mount? How then can you hear these words and now go and do them?
