Small Group Discussion Questions

1. What are some characteristics of the "wide, easy road" that leads to destruction? How do these contrast with the "narrow, hard road" that leads to life?

2. How does the theme of costly discipleship challenge contemporary understandings of faith? 

3. Why does following Jesus really come down to obedience? Explain. Give examples from the Word to back up this claim or not. 

4. Jesus says He is the "door" (John 10:9). How does entering through Him shape your understanding of the narrow gate?

5. Discernment: How can you identify "false prophets" or false disciples by their fruit? What kind of fruit (character and actions) should you look for in yourself and others? How do we bear fruit? 

6. Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” and followed with “Feed my sheep” and “Follow me” (John 21:15-19). How can you express your love for Jesus through obedience this week?
