What’s your favorite summer camp memory?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS -

12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13 And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14 So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

- Matthew 18:12-14

Do not despise the next generation.

  • How often do you catch yourself looking down upon the next generation? What can we do instead?

Find the one.

  • What are you doing to find people that need Jesus? How do you find and minister to “sinners” without sinning yourself?

  • Have you shared a testimony with anyone lately or invited anyone to church? Why or why not?

Leave the comfort of the ninety-nine.

  • What is the main thing preventing you from reaching out to people and sharing the gospel?

  • Who reached you when you were “the one” who was lost? How did they reach you?

Rejoice over the one.

  • Let’s spend a few moments thanking God for seeking and saving us and asking Him to help us reach those around us (especially the next generation).

  • How can we pray for you?
