Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)
Surprising, sheep and goats are related through their goat-antelope subfamily.  According to Wikipedia, sheep are flock animals that stay close to one another. Their natural inclination is to follow a leader.  They flee from danger and will not defend their territory.  Goats are more independent and inquisitive.  They will wander and are known for escaping their pens.  They will generally turn and face an intruder.

Why did Jesus use sheep and goats in His illustration?
How do the righteous resemble sheep?
How do the unrighteous resemble goats?
What behavior did Jesus praise in the righteous?
When have you seen the “hungry” and feed them?
What are some characteristics of modern-day goats?
How can we promote more sheep behavior in our community?
 
Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
