Describe a time when you felt on the outside or not included.
Read Matthew 5:1–12. What are the attributes you notice about each person Jesus calls blessed? How might these people have felt on the outside?
Read Matthew 25:34–40. What do you notice about the list of people Jesus connects himself to? How does this line up with his list of who is blessed in the last passage?
What are some examples of people who are in analogous groups today?
What are some things you and your group can do to live out Jesus’ radical love for those stuck on the outside this week?
