Growgroup Discussion Starters
Know
K1 We often introduce ourselves to people using our vocation. What is it about your vocation that people often misunderstand or don’t understand?

Grow
G1 How do you identify yourself – vocation? Gender / sexuality? What might the benefits of this? Dangers or pitfalls?
G2 Matt 4:15-16 | THE ADDRESS | Think of where you are spiritually. In what ways do you live in Zebulun (Nazareth - despised) or Naphtali (struggle)? Consider this to be your address. God knows where you live. Be encouraged.
G3 Matt 4:17 | THE PACKAGE | “Repent” (metanoeō) means to think differently or afterwards, i.e. reconsider (morally, feel compunction). Dan summarized it as “change the way you think”. Think of how you view the world or yourself …what are one or two things you should you “repent” of to align with God’s perspective?
G4 Matt 4:17 | THE PACKAGE | How does Jesus’ presence have a bearing on the kingdom coming near?
G5 Matt 4:19 | THE INVITATION | However you identify yourself (job, gender etc), listen to Jesus’ invitation to follow Him. How might your life change if being a “Jesus follower” becomes your primary identity?
G6 | Matt 4:19 | Take some time to prayerfully consider how you could, not “fish for people” but accountant for people or farm for people. In other word, submit your primary identifier (vocation or gender / sexual identity) under the Lordship of Jesus so he can reach people through you.
