By Matthew Wheelock, January 29, 2023

Matthew 7:7-12

  • Genesis 2:15-25
  • Summary of the book ofJudges (sin, cry for help, God sends deliverer, comfort leads again to sin x7)
  • 1 Samuel 13:14 (God tells the first king of Israel he will not be king any longer
  • 1 Samuel 16:10-13 (David is chosen as the next king to replace Saul)
  • 1 Samuel 18-31 (David constantly hides from Saul)
  • 2 Samuel 7:18-29 (David gives thanks for being king)
  • Matthew 4:18-20 (Jesus calls Peter to follow Him)
  • Matthew 16:13-18 (Who do you say Jesus is?)
  • Matthew 26:69-75 (Peter denies that he follows Jesus)
  • John 21:15-19 (Jesus restores Peter)

There’s a 2-way response to the Gospel, God’s desire is to have the love He shows us reciprocated.

  • How have you been using what God has blessed you with to bring glory to Him?
  • Is there someone in your life who has wronged you (maybe even in a very significant way) that you need to show grace to?
  • Do you find yourself meeting needs where there are needs expecting something back?
  • Have you expected God to supply your needs or answer your prayers in your timing?
