Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jesus say happens to the grain of wheat that dies — and to the one that doesn't?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What comfort, position, or plan would have to die for you to actually plant?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What one thing will you lay down this week — schedule, budget, or role — to free yourself for the new work?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Whom will you tell about the seed you are burying, so they can hold you to it?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you said the grain that dies bears much fruit. Give me courage to bury my comfort so a church can grow.
