Physical Concern, Spiritual Danger

I. The Account

II. The Accusation

III. The Application


For Further Discussion

1) What does this passage reveal about the real problem the disciples have? Why is it easier to focus on physical or immediate concerns than spiritual realities?

2) In what ways can “forgetting” what God has done in the past affect our faith in the present? How does unbelief distort the way we interpret situations, challenges, or even Jesus’ words?

3) Are you more prone toward performance-based thinking (like the Pharisees), or skepticism/doubt (like the Sadducees)? How does that show up in your life?

4) What practical steps can you take to guard against unhealthy or unbiblical influences? What is one area of your life where Jesus might say, “You’re worried about the wrong thing”?
