Hey there.

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY

November 16 | Discipleship Guide

Be Real Together:

Take a few minutes to catch up, tell stories, and laugh together. Trust and friendship take time to build. If you’re launching a new DG, one person should tell their story — what do we need to know about you? Next week, have another person in your DG share their story.

Read Together: Matthew 20:29-34 CSB

On a dusty, crowded road leaving Jericho, two blind men cry out to Jesus for mercy while the crowd tries to silence them. But Jesus stops. He listens. He asks a powerful question: “What do you want me to do for you?” Moved with compassion, He touches their eyes, restores their sight, and they follow Him. Their encounter reminds us that discipleship is costly, life can feel like a rip tide, and yet Jesus is always near—inviting us to bring our need, trust His heart, and believe that God can make a way where we see no way.

The One Question:
Ask this question at your family meal or Discipleship Group.

Where in your life do you need to trust that Jesus sees you, hears you, and can make a way?

Grow Together:
Use these questions to go deeper with your DG or for personal study.

  1. The blind men refused to stay silent when they heard Jesus passing by. What does it look like to position yourself to receive from Jesus in your current season?
  2. Prayer shapes our thoughts, hearts, and spirit. Which of these feels hardest for you right now—and why?
  3. When have you felt “caught in a rip tide”—trying to fight circumstances in your own strength instead of trusting Jesus?
  4. What helps you remember that God is for you and with you, even when you can’t see what He’s doing?
  5. Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” How would you honestly answer that question today?

Pray Together:

  • Thank God that He sees, hears, and moves with compassion toward His people.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to renew your thoughts, soften your heart, and strengthen your spirit.
  • Pray for trust—not to fight the current, but to rest in Jesus’ leadership and timing.
  • Lift up places of pain, confusion, or waiting in the Group.
  • Pray with expectation that God will make a way, even if it looks different than you imagined.

Next Steps:

Choose one intentional way to “position yourself to receive” this week:
  • Set aside a 10-minute daily prayer window to bring your needs honestly before Jesus.
  • Identify one distracting thought pattern and surrender it to God through Scripture meditation (try Philippians 4:6–8).
  • Ask someone you trust to pray with you about an area where you feel stuck.
  • Write down what you believe Jesus might be asking you: “What do you want Me to do for you?”
