Matthew 25 - Next Steps

Message Summary
We don’t always think about how wealthy we are. As pastor John reminded us a family of four, making $50,000 is among the top 10% of wealthiest families in the world! Even a single parent making $30,000 is still making more that 87% of the world. The reality is we have more than we realize. But what if we have been given what we have for a purpose? What if we look for ways to honor God with what we have been given? What if you have been chosen to make a difference for Christ with your resources?

Do you think of yourself as wealthy? Why or why not?
Why does it matter what we do with our wealth

Read Matthew 25:31-46

1) What does the Son of Man separate? Why is this significant

2) What did he say to those on his right?

3) What was their response?

4) How did they serve Him?

5) What did he say to those on his left?

6) What opportunities did they miss out on?

7) How does Jesus demonstrate the value of all human beings in this passage?

8) When we care for others, how do we show that they have value?

9) Why is it important for us to do so?

10) Where can you invest in others?
