2 Digest

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

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does the Father say about Jesus on the mountain, and what failure are the disciples struggling with below?

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

   • 'I believe; help my unbelief' — where do belief and unbelief live side by side in you right now?

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

   • Jesus says whoever wants to be first must be servant of all. Who will you deliberately serve this week, expecting nothing back?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who around you is 'in the valley' — struggling while others seem to be on the mountain — and how will you come alongside 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).
