GIVE
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 (NLT)7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Instructions:
Talking through the message during the week helps you and your group turn what God is saying to you into action. It will help you apply what you learned on Sunday to your life this week. Begin with the key questions, add any optional Scriptures and questions if needed, and then decide on your next steps. How will you walk this out in your life this week?
Main Idea:
God’s Kingdom knows no boundaries or limitations.
Scriptures:
Luke 15:1-7 (NLT) 1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner
who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
Psalms 23:1 (NLT) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
Isaiah 40:11 (NLT) 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart…
Ezekiel 34:5-6 (NLT) 5 So my sheep have been scattered without a shepherd, and they are easy prey for any wild animal. 6 They have wandered through all the mountains and all the hills, across the face of the
earth, yet no one has gone to search for them.
Ezekiel 34:11-12 (NLT) 11 “For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search and find my sheep. 12 I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock. I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.
John 1:12 (NLT) 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
Discussion Questions:
1. Can you think of something of value that you lost? Did you ever find it?
2. Do you have someone in your life that you're pursuing through prayer and personal connection so that the Lord would use you to see them come to faith? Have you shared the gospel with them?
3. How could the gospel of Jesus bring people together as family that would not normally happen?
