Discussion Questions
Before questions, attempt to give the group a bit of a summary of the main points of the sermon and then choose a few questions that fit your group’s needs and style. We don’t intend for you to use all of these. Three to five questions may be a good number.
Begin by reading Ephesians 1:17–23 and Matthew 11:28–30 aloud, taking turns reading the passages.
Pray over the group before beginning discussion.
