MATTHEW 12:38-45

1. An evil generation asks for a miraculous sign (v.38-39).
   • What is so wrong about asking for a miraculous sign?
   • What should we be doing instead of asking for a sign?
2. Jesus declared that Jonah was in a huge fish for three days (v.39-40).
   • Why do people find it so hard to believe the miracles in scripture?
   • How does the character of Jesus help convince you of this miracle?
3. The people of Nineveh condemn those who reject the message of God (v.41).
   • What do we need to learn from the urgency and repentance of the men of Nineveh?
   • In what sense do we all reject the word of God?
   • What can we do to more urgently and completely follow the word of God?
4. The queen of Sheba condemns those who reject the wisdom of God (v.42).
   • How did the wisdom and glory of God in Solomon affect the Queen of Sheba?
   • How does the wisdom and glory of God in Jesus affect your heart and actions?
   • What changes can help us be more strongly affected by the glory of God in Christ?
5. Unless evil is replaced with good it will multiply (v.43-45).
   • Why is simply getting rid of evil not a complete solution for us?
   • What kinds of things do you need to be filling the days of your life with?

Call to Action: Let the message and glory of Christ fill your day with purpose.
