What did you did this week that required faith?  How did it deepen your trust in God? 

 

Read Mark 4:26-29.  What stands out to you about this passage?  Do you agree that even though God’s work (ie. Spiritual life and growth) is mysterious it is still measurable?  Why is that significant in the life of the disciple? 

 

How do you prepare yourself for continual growth?  When have you experienced cyclical growth? 

 

Spend some time working through the Assessment Questions from the Sermon:  

  1. Where have I seen evidence of God’s life in me recently?
  • Simple Measurable: Identify 1–2 recent situations where your response was more Christlike than it might have been a year ago. 
  1. How am I intentionally deepening my roots in Christ?
  • Simple Measurable: Track the frequency of one core discipline (e.g., days spent in personal Scripture reading or prayer in the past week). 
  1. Who is impacting my growth right now?
  • Simple Measurable: Name one person who has recently challenged, encouraged, or strengthened your walk with Christ.  
  1. Who is being impacted by my growth right now?.
  • Simple Measurable: Name one person you’ve encouraged, served, or shared Christ with in the past month.
