GROWTH GROUP / PERSONAL REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. How do you determine what your priorities are?

5. How can we, as Christians cultivate humility and authenticity in our faith walk and avoid approval and praise from others?

6. In this passage, Jesus delivers a series of woes to the Pharisees. How might we apply these warnings to our own lives?

7. What are some practical steps you can take to have your priorities line up with Jesus'?
