Stories of the Church - Kingdom Gardening

Faith that lasts is faith that holds on.

Leaders note: If you haven’t yet had a chance to view Debbi’s interview, take a moment to do so with your group HERE.

  • What stood out to you from Debbi’s interview?

Read: Luke 8:4-8

  • Have you read or heard this parable before? What questions do you have about it?

Read: Luke 8: 9-10

  • What do you think of Jesus’ statement here? It does seem a bit exclusionary!

  • Have you ever felt like your faith makes you seem a bit unhinged to non-Christians? How do you deal with that?

Read: Luke 8:11-15

  • Where do you see yourself in this story? What kind of seed have you been?

  • In this parable, those who are good seed “cling” to God’s word, and “patiently” endure. What does that look like on a practical level?

  • How can our church be one that sows seeds? What do YOU need to do to make that happen?

Prayer: Pray that our church would find creative ways to sow the seeds of the Gospel in our South Lansing communities.
