Week 4: Obeying
March 26 & 29
What do you do when you know God has spoken?
Often times, obedience doesn’t make sense.
Obedience requires surrender.
Baptism isn’t a celebration…it’s an act of obedience.
It is possible to be moved by Jesus and not be surrendered to Him.
Hearing God isn’t the goal….listening to and obeying God is the goal.
[d]Group Questions
Read Luke 19:28-40 together as a group.
In the message, we saw three responses to Jesus—obedience, partial obedience, and resistance. Which one do you most relate to right now, and why?
The disciples obeyed even when it didn’t make sense. Where in your life is God asking you to trust Him without having all the details
You heard the question, “What’s your colt?” What is something you sense God asking you to release or surrender right now (time, control, forgiveness, a step of obedience, etc.)?
It’s possible to be emotionally moved by Jesus but not surrendered to Him. What’s one practical step of obedience you know God is asking you to take this week?
