Digging Deeper

Read Luke 6:43-49

  1. Based on the words you speak, how do you think those around you would describe your heart?

  1. Are you tempted to blame your circumstances for your speech? What would the last part of verse 45 say to that assessment?

  1. To have an abundance of something means to have a plentiful supply of it. What is abundant or plentiful in your heart-joy, worry, peace, anger, love, pride, humility?

  1. Where does a good heart come from? (See Ezekiel 36:26)

  1. How might the good fruit produced out of the good treasure of our hearts impact those around us for good?

  1. Why do we not do what Christ has told us to do? (Pride, ease, fear, etc)

  1. Are you more like the man who built his house on the ground or the one who built his house on a deep foundation?

  1. What does the flood represent in verse 48?

  1. Jesus said that his followers should expect to have trouble in this life (John 16:33). If you've experienced a trial in your own life, how did having a solid foundation (or not having one) affect you?

  1. Do you feel confident that you will stand firm in the final judgment? Why or why not?

  1. How can we practically help each other to hear Christ's words and do them?
