Continued Study from Matthew’s Gospel – 7 Study Questions

We’ve been going through the Book of Matthew. Each week, our Community Groups have been discussing the sermons and coinciding passages.

This is the third instalment of our small group material based on Jesus’ Parables, titled Stories with Intent. Feel free to check the previous studies, #1: The Parable of the Sower and #2: The Parable of the Weeds.

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven

Before working through the study questions, I suggest reading through the key passage, found in Matthew 13:31-33.

Discussion Questions

1. 1. What are your initial thoughts or feelings about this week’s sermon and/or the passage?
   2. What’s your experience (if any) with mustard seeds/plants or leaven?
   3. What in our Western culture begins small and insignificant, yet grows into something large and very significant?
   4. When and how have you seen God magnify someone that seemed insignificant?
   5. How does God’s magnification of the insignificant impact our view of the Kingdom?
   6. This week, when faced with someone or something insignificant, how will this message and passage effect our perspective?
   7. When’s the last time you felt insignificant? How does this week’s message and passage change your perspective?
