Personal Growth Homework
3. How do you think Luke 12:5 relates to Luke 12:7 with respect to
fear? (See also Luke 1:50 and Acts 10:34-35.)
Use this as a tool in your personal study throughout the week
For the week of November 20, 2011
Luke 12:1-12
Exploring the Scriptures
1. In Luke 12:1, Jesus calls hypocrisy “the yeast of the Pharisees.”
From the smallest beginning, it spreads until it influences
everything it touches, making it especially dangerous for a
Christian. Read Matthew 7:3, Luke 6:46 and James 2:15-16 &
3:10. Do any of these verses speak particularly to you? Ask God to
help you in this area of your life.
2. Sometimes we define our value by the judgments of others, such
as salary or number of friends on Facebook. But our true value is
based on God’s perception of us (Luke 12:4-5). Meditate on Luke
12:6-7, John 3:16 and Romans 14:8. What is the Holy Spirit saying
to you?
4. In Luke 12:8-9, Jesus makes a sobering statement that relates
to salvation, but can also apply to our daily lives. Think of some
ways you acknowledge Jesus before others (such as sacrificial
love or standing up for the truth) and some where you might have
denied him (such as quietly accepting non-Christian values). Pray
about how you will handle these denial situations in the future.
5. In Luke 12:10, Jesus refers to the “unforgivable sin.” Read
Matthew 12:24-32 and Mark 3:22-30 to see the context of this sin.
Given the work of the Holy Spirit described in John 16:7-14, why do
you think that blaspheming him would cut someone off from eternal
life?
