Discussion Questions

1. What do you think is the source of the majority of our worries? What is causing our anxiety? 

 

2. Think through Jesus’ logic from the sermon notes. Talk through the case Jesus builds from start to finish. After Jesus builds his case against anxiety, he gives an action step for what we should do now. Why are verses 33 and 34 the crucial conclusion to his case on counteracting our anxiety?  

 

3. Look back at Matthew 6:24. How does this fit into the conversation on anxiety? 

 

4. Give examples of how you can WEED out anxiety, FEED the roots of faith, and WATER the grass to thrive. (Weed+Feed+Water)  

 

5. Share some of your anxieties and worries. Pray about them together as a group.
