Matthew 18

Humility (Matthew 18:1-9)
In God's eyes, only the humble are great.
When did you enter God's kingdom in humility?
How are you doing at becoming great in the kingdom of heaven?
When was the last time you seriously asked God to show you areas of pride in your life?
How do you plan to start taking on a Christlike attitude of serving others?
What are you allowing in your life that might be causing others to sin?

Repentance & Restoration (Matthew 18:10-20)
Jesus demands discipline in the church.
How have you witness the effects of personal sin and its impact on others?
What sin have you seen in a brother that needs to be addressed by you?
How has your service to Christ and your church been negatively effected by sin in your life?
How do you need to pray for and show love toward someone who has been removed from church fellowship?

Forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-35)
An unforgiving heart indicates an unforgiven heart.
Who are you withholding forgiveness from? Will you forgive them tonight?
Who have you forgiven, but still have hard feelings toward? You need forgiveness from the heart – ask God for the ability.
What do you need to ask God to forgive you for?
What do you need to ask a brother to forgive you for?
