Into the Fields Week One

What Breaks God’s Heart

Getting Started 

• Can you think of a time when you didn't realize how lost you were until much later?

• When life feels overwhelming, what's your natural response? Do you push harder, ask for help, or shut down?

Looking at the Scripture

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd”

• What stands out to you most about Jesus' response to the crowds?

• Instead of frustration or judgment, Jesus felt compassion. Why do you think that's significant?

• Which of these three descriptions - confused, helpless, or without a shepherd - do you think is most common in our world today?

Into the Fields 

• Has there ever been a time that you would have described yourself as confused, helpless, or without a Shepherd? How has your story changed?

• The invitation isn't simply to give, it's to ask God. Why is that an important distinction?

• As you pray this week, what do you think God might be asking of you?

This Week: 

Who is one specific person in your life you can pray for this week who may be confused, helpless, or searching for a Shepherd?
