Sermon Recap

Title: Highs & Lows
Text: Matthew 17:14-20
Big Idea: Beware what comes after the "mountain top" experiences.

Discussion Questions:

1. Share a "mountain top" experience you've had at some point in the past? When did you "come down" from it?

2. What is something that is burdening you right now?

3. How are you resonating with the father who says, "I believe, help my unbelief" with your burdens? (Be specific)

4. Have you felt confused over things not working out the way that you expected, when you felt you were doing everything right?

5. How have you come to realize that you were trusting in yourself or someone/something other than God in a particular situation?

6. How does the quantity size of a mustard seed bring comfort or encouragement to you.

7. Explore together the idea that "some things don't come out without prayer [and fasting']" (see Matt. 17:21 and Mark 9:24). How do you find that exhortation needing to be received in today's world?
