For the week of October 18, 2026
“All or Nothing” – Week 6

  • For Further Study:
    • Matthew 13:44-46
    • John 21:1-25
    • 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
    • Luke 14:25-35
  • For Further Prayer:
    • Pray that God would guard your heart from the traps of comparison, hopelessness, apathy, and laziness. Pray that God would keep you focused on Him and help you to follow Him.
    • Pray that God would use you to bring His hope into someone else’s life this week. Pray that the life of Jesus would move through you and bring His resurrection power to those who need to experience it.
  • For Further Discussion/Reflection:
    • Why do you think some people are so prone to compare themselves to others? In what areas of your life are you more tempted to compare yourself with someone else?
    • Why do you think so many people struggle with feelings of hopelessness? How does knowing Jesus make a difference in the difficult times? How can the hope of Jesus be experienced even when facing struggles?
    • What does it mean to be passionate about something? What are some of the different things you have felt passionately about? Describe a time when you felt passionate about your faith.
    • When you think about your personal relationship with God, do you think you tend to be active, lazy, or somewhere in the middle? Do you think of your faith as something like a fight or a race? Why or why not?
  • “Now What?” Next Step:
    • Talk to someone you trust about one thing you feel would help you follow Jesus.
    • Maybe you feel there is a step you need to take, someone you need to reach out to, or something you haven’t fully surrendered to Him yet (or maybe it’s something else).
    • Ask for their prayers, their help, and their accountability to check in with you.
    • Then, do it!
    • Let’s all keep growing closer to Jesus together, as we obey His commands.
