The Conspiracy of God | Hide and Seek
Our message series, The Conspiracy of God , will take us through the Sermon on The Mount.
A conspiracy involves a secret power at work behind the scenes, undermining those that currently hold sway. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is God’s invitation to participate in his great conspiracy by apprenticing to Jesus.

Matthew 6:25-34
Message Questions:
- Are you prone to worry? What do you worry about most often?
- How strong is your sense that your Heavenly Father loves you? What feeds the sense of His love? What subtracts from it?
- Jesus seems to be suggesting that we “open our eyes” or “go for a walk” as an antidote for worry. What is it about birds and wildflowers that could be corrective?
- What does it look like for a person to “Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and his righteousness?” What has been moved to SECOND place in your life because Jesus has become FIRST?
- How reassuring is it to hear Jesus tell you, “Each day has enough trouble of its own?” Is there subtle reassurance in there somewhere?
