Personal Next Steps 

● Renew and Refresh -  This week read Matthew 7:24-27; 1 John 1:8-10; 3:1-2

● Self-Check

o John the Baptist asked Joanna after hearing Jesus’ sermon if she had been
grateful for “food” while not even realizing she had been “starving.” How have
you been “feeding” your spiritual appetite?

o Jesus knew Peter would abandon Him and Judas would betray Him and yet He
welcomed them into His family. Are you avoiding closeness with Christ because
you feel you are abandoning Him or betraying Him? What can you change? 

● Continuing the Conversation -  What encouraged you about this episode that you could
use to point someone else to trusting in Christ? 

● Pray -  Thank your heavenly Father for never giving up on you. Ask Him to help you “do”
the things you are “hearing” from His Son’s teachings.
