2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • How does Jesus begin his ministry, and how do people respond to him throughout this chapter?

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

   • Jesus calls ordinary fishermen and they leave everything at once. What would 'leaving the nets' look like for you?

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

   • Jesus rises early to pray before a demanding day (v. 35). What will you change this week to seek the Father first?

4. Who will I tell?

   • The healed man 'began to talk freely' about Jesus. Who will you talk to about him 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).
