Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (John 14:23-29) taken from the Serendipity Bible:

  • What is the difference between how Jesus gives peace and how the world’ does?
  • How at home are the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in your life? Are they more like owners or temporary guests?

Luke 5:1-11 (Click to Read)
Preacher:  Carolyn Westin

The following questions, taken from the Serendipity Bible, are provided for deeper consideration of the Luke 5:1-11:  
  • What do you think Simon Peter was thinking in v.5? v.7? v.8?
  • How did this miracle affect Peter?
  • What is Peter beginning to grasp about Jesus? About sin? About belief in himself?
  • What was the first time, if ever, you responded o Jesus like Peter did in v. 8?
  • In your "fishing business", how do you see Jesus:
    • Interesting but slightly irrelevant teacher?
    • Potentially a great business partner- if you could hire him to work for you?
    • The one who calls all the shots?

Living a Doubt-Free Life

4/8/2018

 

John 20:19-31
Preacher:  Carolyn Westin

Take out your Bible and look up the scripture. Over the next week we invite you to sit down (by yourself or even better) with your small group, a friend, family member or soul-mate, and (think about) discuss the following questions:
  1.  Why are the disciples fearful now?
  2. Of all the things Jesus must have said, why does John record “peace be with you” three times (vv. 19,21,26)?  How does this relate to their fears? To their being sent?
  3. How does Thomas’ personality compare to Mary’s (v.13)? To the other disciples(vv. 9,19)
  4. How does Jesus deal with Thomas’ doubt (v. 29)? What is significant about the way Thomas responds?
  5. What is the author’s purpose for writing this gospel (vv. 30-31; 21:24-25)?
  6. Where could you use Jesus peace now?
  7. What doubts or questions about God are you struggling with? What have you found helpful in dealing with doubts?

Matthew 6:5-15

​
  1. Where do you go when you need to pray? What do you find yourself praying for most often?
  2. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a model, what three things related to God are named first (vv. 9-11)?
  3. What three things related to our needs are expressed next (vv. 11- 13)?
  4. What do verses 12, 14 and 15 say to you about the relationship between forgiving and being forgiven?
  5. In praying, what do you think is your biggest challenge?
  6. In getting serious about your spiritual life, what is something you need to start doing?
