Purpose
-To show how much we need God. To show how much God wants us.
-To give practical advice and support about how to effectively (Biblically) seek God.
Matthew 7:7-8
-What does this passage promise?
-What does that mean for you?
-If finding God is guaranteed, then this is a worthwhile pursuit!
Matthew 7:13-14
-This verse seems to contradict 7:7-8. How can it be that: “everyone who seeks finds,” but, “only a few find it?”
-So, there is a certain way to seek God that guarantees we’ll find him. How should we search after God to be sure we’ll find him?
-There are only two roads. If you had to choose which road you are on right now, what would you honestly choose? Why?
Matthew 6:33
-According to this verse how are we to seek? What priority is God in our lives? What would a person’s life look like who seeks God first?
-Have you been seeking God first? If not, what have you put before God? What keeps you from making God your top priority?
-What does it mean to seek his kingdom? His righteousness? How could you start seeking his kingdom and his righteousness first?
Luke 13:22-28
-What is something in your life that you have made every effort at?
-What would it look like for you to make every effort in seeking God?
Acts 8:26-39
-In what ways do you see this Eunuch making every effort? How do you see God fulfilling the promise of Matthew 7:7-8?
Key Questions:
-God will stop at nothing to love you and be in a relationship with you. Will you seek him first?
-What changes will you need to make in your life to have God as your first priority?
