As part of our mission statement to connect people with God and others, we desire for people to be known in a way that is not possible in a large gathering.

Connection Groups typically gather on Sunday evenings in homes all over Linn County.

Each Sunday we provide questions based on the sermon to guide a discussion time into deeper spiritual understanding.

If you are looking to connect with others, flesh out the sermon in your own life, and invest yourself with a group of loving believers, Connection groups are for you! Click below to get signed up!

LEAD YOUR HEART TO Trust the One who Cares Matthew 6:25-32 November 15th, 2026

1. What are some common things that people worry about? Why do you think worry comes so naturally to people?

2. What are some results of worry, both short-term and long- term? What are the positive benefits of worry?

3. Read over Matthew 6:25-27. What does Jesus mean when He says that life is more than food and the body more than clothing?

4. Why do we sometimes place more value on the things that we have rather than on the life God has given us? How does understanding your value to God change the way you approach uncertainties?

5. What do birds and flowers teach us about our heavenly Father’s care? How do these examples remind us that we are not exempt from and work and responsibility?

6. What is one area of your life where worry has been competing with your faith? Why would Jesus refer to the worriers as those with “little faith”?

7. What is something you worried about, and yet God ultimately provided for you or helped you through the situation?

8. Turn over to Philippians 4:6-7. What are we instructed to do with our anxieties? What does God provide in place of those anxieties?

9. Look next at 1 Peter 5:7. Read over this text several times, emphasizing a different word each time. What do you learn from this exercise?

10. Back in Matthew 6:32, it says that God already knows what we need. What is the point of prayer, then, if God is already aware?
