Scripture & Discussion
Sermon Title: “Stacking the Seed”
Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 3:5-8, Matthew 25:14-29
Brief Recap: This week in our I Am series, we looked at God as “El Shaddai” - the Lord Almighty! The all-powerful, increasing and enriching God wants us to put our seed (our gifts, our talents, our abilities) into good soil. The Next Generation is soil that we want to put seed into - we plant seed and God brings the increase.

Key Points:
3 Things We Should Be Looking for in Soil:
  1. Receptive (soft, not stuck)
  2. Reach (deep, not dense)
  3. Rich (fruitful, not fruity)

Discussion (keep it light; don’t force depth)
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.
  1. What stood out to you from this week’s message? (this question is to help them navigate what the Lord highlighted to them)
  2. We want to be sowing into the Next Generation! How did God invite you to be sowing seed into fertile soil?
  3. God wants us to cultivate Kingdom behavior. How am I using my abilities and, my gifts for the Kingdom? 

Prayer Time
Prayer request if time allows. If not, you can close in prayer.
