Discussion Questions
Know
K1 What are you thankful for this thanksgiving?

Grow
G1 What did God say to you through the testimony of Enya and Jane or through any of the aspects of the service today?
G2 Jesus promises that those who have left things behind for his sake will receive "a hundred times as much in this present age." What do you think this means practically? How have you experienced this in your own life?
G3 Why do you think Jesus includes "persecutions" in the list of things his followers will receive? How does this challenge our expectations of the Christian life?
G4 Jesus concludes by saying "many who are first will be last, and the last first." How does this statement relate to the rest of the passage? What implications does it have for how we view status and position in God's kingdom?
G5 Compare the lists in verse 29-30. Are there any differences. Why do you think this is? Which item on the list would be hardest for you to leave?
G6 Leaving doesn’t always mean going overseas on “mission”. What is God calling you to leave (home, country, job, relationship, way of thinking?) so that you can receive from him?
