Small Group Questions | Week 1

 

1. If someone gave you $10,000 and told you to make it grow, what would you do with it?

 

2. Read Matthew 25:14-30. In the parable, the master gave each servant a different amount “according to their ability” (Matthew 25:15). How does this challenge the way we compare ourselves to others?

 

3. The first two servants acted immediately to multiply what they were given (Matthew 25:16-17). What are some talents, resources, or opportunities God has given you that you can start investing in today?

 

4. Fear kept the third servant from taking action (Matthew 25:25). Have you ever hesitated to use a gift or opportunity out of fear? How did it impact you?

 

5. The goal of multiplication in God’s Kingdom is not for personal gain, but to bless others. In what ways have you experienced God’s blessing when you chose to be generous?

 

6. The church has given away over $648,000 in missions, outreach, and benevolence in the last 12 1/2 years. What stands out to you about the impact of generosity? How can you personally practice this kind of giving?

 

7. The first two servants had a testimony to share with their master (Matthew 25:20-23). What is a testimony of God’s goodness in your life that you could share with someone this week?

 

8. Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Why do you think sharing our testimonies is so powerful? How have you been encouraged by someone else’s story?

 

9. The sermon ended with a challenge: “What has God placed in your hands? Who can you bless? What testimony can you share?” What is one specific step you can take this week to multiply, give, or share?
