One Job
This week, while you meet with your Faith Formation Group you may want to reflect on our Scripture passage by reading Matthew 13:24-30 (printed below) and discuss the questions from the Scripture and Sermon as a way to begin a conversation.
Matt. 13:24 Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. 25 But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. 26 When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.
Matt. 13:27 “The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’
Matt. 13:28 “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.
Matt. 13:29 “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”
Questions for Consideration:
- Take time this week, in your groups or individually, to reflect on the past year and share where you have seen God at work in your lives.
- After having read the passage for this week, how does this parable relate to the ministry of the church? What does this mean for your small group?
- What is the "one job" we are each called to do as disciples and as a community?
- Share with your group an area of prayer where they can lift you up as we enter into the new year.
