Discussion Questions for the week of September 7
How is your soul? What are your spiritual struggles and successes?
Questions for Luke 5:1-16
- Picture yourself as Simon. What are you thinking, feeling, and doing in v 1-3?
- When Jesus speaks to you directly in v 4?
- Why do you go along with Jesus’ odd request?
- How did this miracle affect Simon? Why does this have a more profound effect than the healing of his mother-in-law?
- What is he beginning to grasp about Jesus? About sin? About himself? (v 8)
- By touching the man with leprosy what is Jesus saying? (v 13)
- Why does Jesus try and silence the man healed of leprosy?
- In your “fishing business,” how do you see Jesus? a. Interesting and good for spiritual needs, but not practical for the real world b. Potentially a great business partner c. The Boss d. other
- When have you felt shunned like a leper? How did Jesus touch you then? Did he use someone in the process?
- Who are the lepers in your community, and what would it mean to touch them for Christ?
Online Bible Studies
Hi Church,
I invite you to join me in studying God’s Word online using the You Version Bible app (Bible.com). Each study begins on a specific date, but you are welcome to start a little earlier or later. You can read on your own, but when you comment, the whole group can see what you wrote and respond. I hope you will participate, and I pray that you would be blessed with wisdom, growth, and new energy through the study and interaction with God’s word.
Through Christ Jesus, our Lord, Amen
Frank Baik
