Practical Applications

As we begin practical applications in week #1 of our 5 Ps series, Pastor David will reveal 5 specific tools God uses for discipling. An individual will never become a different person until the Scriptures become alive to them in a practical way. Exposure to the Word is different from understanding and applying the Word. This week we are studying Matthew 7:24-29 to learn about the spiritual tool known as “Practical Applications”.

Matthew 7:24-27

Discussion topics

1. Did you grow up attending a church that emphasized application?  If not, what was emphasized in your church? Doctrine? Sacraments? Attendance?

2. The parable found in Matthew 7 follows the Sermon on the Mount.  Why do you think Jesus concluded his sermon with this parable?

3. Have you ever applied a specific teaching of Scripture that, looking back, prepared you for an unexpected storm?

4. Matthew 7:24 says, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock”.  What area of your life needs to be built on the rocks?  What new Biblical application do you need to make?
