1. Read Matthew 4:19 and Matthew 7:13-14. Jesus calls us to come and follow Him. When you think about His invitation, what makes it challenging or costly for you to move through the narrow gate? What would it cost you if you don’t move?

2. Read Luke 14:28-33. When you consider your ways, where do you see “half-built towers” or “battle scars” from trying life your way? What is Jesus inviting you to now?  

3. Read Matthew 7:24-27 and Matthew 11:28-30. When you feel weary or worn out, are you more tempted to swing toward busyness or passive apathy? What would it look like to find true rest by moving with Jesus instead? 

4. Read Mark 10:52. Moments with God are meant to lead to movement with Him. Can you share a time when a moment did or didn’t become real movement in your life? What made the difference? 

5. Considering the 10 foundational next steps (found at valleycreek.org/nextsteps), which is your next step? How will you take that step and mark your move so we can celebrate with you?
