questions
- Read Matthew 13:44-46. What is your initial reaction to this text and/or to the sermon?
- In the sermon, Michael spoke about how, often, we place way too much value on the wrong things. What do you think our culture values that maybe we shouldn't?
- Michael also talked about the constant striving many of us do to find meaning or purpose or worthiness when we already have those things through God's grace without having to earn them. How does this show up in your own life?
- What practices might help you to remember your own inherent worth and to act from that place, rather than trying to earn it?
