Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.
What does this show me about God?
- Jesus goes to his house before Zacchaeus has changed anything. What is Jesus like?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- The crowd grumbles about who Jesus is eating with. Why does kindness to the wrong person make people angry?
What will I obey this week?
- Who would people be surprised to see you being nice to? What will you do this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who is left out because of what they have done? Who will go and sit with them?
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, everybody in that town hated Zacchaeus and you asked to eat at his house. Thank you for being kind to the people nobody wants.
