Discussion questions over Matthew 7 due Thursday (12/19).

1. Have you ever misjudged someone and regretted it?  Tell about a time when someone had a good heart and was doing something good, even though you were not aware of it at the time.
2. What are some things that you can ‘ask’ and ‘seek’ and ‘knock’ for from God, things that God wants to bless you with so that you can be a blessing to others?
3. Who are some wise people in your life, people that not only know good things but put them into practice, people that live what they believe?
