Breakout Groups #2

February 19, 2022 • Matthew 11:28–30

Part 1: Matthew 11:28
• What are the things that make you tired?
• What does Jesus say He offers to the tired in vs. 28?
• Think about a deeper level of exhaustion. Think about the exhaustion that you feel from the stress and anxiety in your life. Describe how you feel when you are stressed or anxious.
• So that we don’t miss it, what does Jesus promise us if we bring our burdens to Him?

Part 2: Matthew 11:29
• Do you know what Jesus meant when He said “take my yoke upon you”? (Hint: Jesus isn’t talking about an egg yolk.)
• What does it mean, then, to “take Jesus’ yoke upon you”?
• The way of Jesus is gentle. The way of the world is anything but. How does the world around you contribute to your stress and anxiety?
• We find rest for our souls when we “learn” from Jesus. First, how does it sound to be offered rest for your soul?
• Second, what does it mean to “learn” from Jesus?

Part 3: Matthew 11:30
• Think for a second: how would you describe the “yoke” of stress and anxiety?
• Compare that with how Jesus described His yoke. What is the difference?
• Have you ever felt the heaviness of your anxiety and stress? What does it make you feel like?
• How does it make you feel knowing that Jesus promises to lighten your burdens?

February 18, 2022

• How do you spend most of your time? • What are some things that you feel pressure to spend more of your time on? • What are expectations that other people have for you? • What expectation, do you think, does God have for us? • Eric shared this quote with us: “Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.”- Tullian Tchividjian. What are some things that you have thought you needed to change in order to be closer to God? • How have you learned that you need to grow closer to God so He can change you? • What are some things that “enslave” teenagers today? • How can those things keep someone from keeping a close relationship with (abiding in) Christ?
