Stop Mind Reading and Clarify Our Expectations
Matthew 7:1-5
Read Matthew 7:1-5
What do we judge other Christians about?
What happens to us when we judge others?
What does Jesus say is the big problem when we try to correct a friend?
Read Proverbs 18:2,13, 15
What do you learn from these Proverbs?
Pastor Glen talked about Mind Reading as a way of judging. What are some ways we can stop mind reading?
How have you seen that mind reading results in struggles in relationships?
Our unclear expectations of others is another area that can be a form of judging and lead to struggles in relationships.
Have you ever experienced someone having expectations of you that you didn’t know of and led to tension in a relationship? Were you able to resolve this?
How can we clarify expectations?
Why is it important for expectations to be shared and agreed upon?
What is an expectation someone might have of you that needs clarification? What might your next steps be?
Pray
For any relationships that you know may be strained and for grace to prevail.
For strength to stop mind reading and to work at clarifying expectations.
For love for each other to show.
