November 1, 2025 | Matthew 10:21-42

WARM UP

Chris pointed out November kicks off the holiday season (aka “family crisis” season). Are you eager or dreading the upcoming holidays, or both? Why?
This weekend we heard about the cost of being a Christian. What comes to mind when you think of the cost of being a Christian today?
What is one new thing you learned from the sermon or hadn’t thought about before?

KNOW IT

Jesus and the apostle Paul both give guidance on how disciples should live, even if it produces opposition. Read Romans 12:9-21 and Matthew 5:1-12.

How are these two passages of Scripture similar? What are their main messages?
Why does following Jesus sometimes lead to persecution or opposition?
What instructions in these passages stand out to you as especially challenging or encouraging for how to live as a follower of Jesus today?

Chris reminded us that the level of tension and opposition we face might not be the best indicator of our discipleship, but fruit is. How would you give an answer to the question of whether or not there’s fruit in your life?
Jesus made it clear that we’re not always going to be in a place where sharing the Gospel is welcome or wanted, and sometimes speaking out in those times can do more harm than good. Is there a time in your life where you know you shared Jesus in your actions even if you didn’t say anything?
