What Jesus said about caring for the poor and needy and those who live in brokenness

The Scripture passage to study: Matthew 25:34-46

1. What do we learn about God from this passage? (How is God revealing Himself to us in this passage: His character, works, commands, and promises?)

2. What do I learn about myself or people from this passage? (What is God expecting from me? What needs to change in my life? What are my responsibilities?).

3. A meaningful question to ask is: Why is this passage in the Bible?

Information to obedience: Because God is speaking here, we must respond. We transition from information to obedience:

1. What do I sense the Holy Spirit is saying and asking me to do?

2. How can I apply and integrate these truths in my life?

3. How must I obey God?

4. What and for whom can I pray from this passage?

5. What must change in my life?

6. Is there something I need to do in the coming week?

7. How can I be a blessing to other people around me?

8. With whom can I share what I discovered from this passage?
