MY STORY
Looking back on your notes from this week’s message, was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged or confused you?

What’s your most embarrassing moment?

QUICK REVIEW
READ Matthew 7:12a
Randy encouraged us to “treat others the way you want to be treated”. How have you done this successfully in your life? In what kind of situations is this principle a struggle for you?

DIGGING DEEPER
READ Matthew 22:36-38
Jesus said that the two commandments given here are like each other. How are the two commandments similar. What is it that makes the second commandment like the first?

READ Luke 11:46
Jesus was criticizing the Pharisees for placing hard burdens on people and then not being willing to help them. How is this scenario the total opposite of the Golden Rule mentioned in the message? Does this tell us anything about the Pharisees of that day? How can we avoid being like the Pharisees?

READ 1 Peter 5:5
How can this passage about pride and humility helps us in developing healthy, accountable relationships? How can “clothing ourselves in humility toward one another” be a catalyst to help carry each other’s burdens?

TAKING IT HOME
“Personal growth requires developing relationships that stretch us. When I choose to invest in others and allow them to invest in me, it produces authenticity and provides support. Then as I encourage others, I am encouraged myself to seek and take next steps.” How can this message and study encourage you and I to invest in others and allow them to invest in us?
