Faith Sheet:

1. Read Mark 4:26-34. What all do you notice about the ministry of Jesus and our ministry to others?

2. Since worship is declaring the worth of God by the way we live and speak, we can worship God anywhere in any situation. What helps you worship God as a way of life?

3. Why do you think some professing Christians do not take Christ’s command to be always about discipling others seriously?

4. What inspires you to persevere when the discipling progress seems painfully slow?

5. What makes some seasons in your life spiritually unproductive and stale?

6. Why is it reassuring to know that God intends the kingdom to grow slowly but surely?
