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

1. What does this show me about God?

   • He saw them straining at the oars from up the mountain, before they saw him. What does Jesus notice?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • Mark says their hearts were hardened — they had just seen five thousand fed. Why do we forget so fast?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What are you rowing against right now? What will you ask Jesus for this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is worn out from trying? What could you say to them?

3 Grow

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