2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Where do the two roads lead, and how does Jesus say a tree is recognized?

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

   • Where are you drifting along with the crowd instead of walking the narrow way?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Name one 'wide road' habit and leave it this week — and tell a brother or sister the same day so the decision sticks.

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who in your life is on the wide road, and how could you point them to the narrow gate this week?

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).
