7th Sunday after Pentecost

Each week, we provide questions based on last Sunday's sermon. These questions are to encourage you to connect the scriptures to your own life and to invite you to grow deeper in your relationships with others at Faith by discussing the questions together. 

Readings: Romans 8:1-11, Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

Sermon: Piling on to-do lists compacts our hearts to believing we are loved; Jesus breaks us open to provide space and structure in which the seed of God's unconditional love takes root. 

Questions:

1. In what ways have you tried to prove that you are worthy of being loved?

2. Which of your activities help you produce leaves that make you look big, and which produce seeds that multiply love in the world?

3. Where has God been breaking open your plans and forcing you to make space to love yourself?
