MATTHEW 8:18-22

In order for the Word of God to really take hold in our life we need to read it and listen to it consistently over time. It’s an eternal difference to move God’s Word the 18 inches from your head to your heart. To get there, we need to slow down and really meditate on it and put it into practice. 

Below you will find a different question for each day of the week. Slowly reread the passage each day and then answer the corresponding question and complete the action step. 

Read Matthew 8:18-22 daily before answering the questions:

Monday Make a list of everything the passage tells you about God or Christ.

Tuesday – Make a list of everything the passage tells you about yourself (anything it puts a finger on in you).

Wednesday – Make a list of each example to follow or avoid, commands to obey or do, and promises to claim.

Thursday – If I really believed this, how would I be different? Friday – Share what you have learned this week with a mentor, spouse, home church host, or pastor.

Memory verse Memorize and pray this prayer this week: Matthew 8:21-22 “Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

Ways to Give

Giving of our finances is a response of worship to God who created us, saved us, and is continually at work in the lives of each of His children to reflect more and more of the character of Jesus Christ. Giving is an opportunity to respond to the gospel of Christ in a way that we can find our hearts freed to reflect the generous heart of God.  

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”

2 Corinthians 9:7-8
