7th Religion - Matthew 6 discussion questions due Thursday (12/12)

1. When have you seen someone do something "only for show," only to impress other people?  What could be done differently so their motivation is honor from God and not from people?
2. What are some things that ‘moth and rust’ could not destroy that are important to you?  What are the ‘best things that aren’t things’?
3. What are things that you are tempted to worry about, and how can you let go of those worries and give those situations to God?

7th Religion - Discussion questions over Matthew chapter 5:

1. The Bible says that we should let our lights shine.  Who is someone in your life who has done a great job of ‘letting their light shine’ by being who they are, who God created them to be?
2. Matthew 5 has some laws that Jesus looks at, and then describes the heart of them: murder, adultery, divorce, taking oaths, and revenge.  What are some other rules, especially rules that you may not like? 
3. What is the ‘heart’ of those rules you listed, the reason behind them that shows the care God has for us and the care He wants us to have for others, too?
