“Be Sensible”

Read:

Mark 5:1-18 and Romans 12:1-8

  1. Tell the group about your most extreme goal/dream you had in life that you didn’t ever accomplish. How did you react when you realized that you might not reach that goal? What did you do instead?

  2. Do you struggle with the “ought-to’s” of life? How do the “ought-to’s” interfere with reality for you personally?

  3. What typically stops you from sitting at the feet of Jesus? How have you set up your own roadblocks in life that might prevent you from seeking a sober minded reality with Jesus?

  4. This might not be the case for you, but is it possible for someone to fear this type of relationship with Jesus? How could a renewing of the mind” that Paul talks about make someone uneasy? (Hint, change can be scary for some even if it comes from Jesus!)

  5. Think of someone that embodies this sober minded/sensible lifestyle in Jesus already. What stands out to you about them that you want to do more of in your life? No one is perfect, but it helps to have guide posts you can talk to and rely on.

Questions from March 16, 2025

“I Love to Tell the Story: Fellowship with Christ”

Read:

Daniel 1

  1. Tell the group what your favorite family meal was growing up. Who made it? Why was that meal so special?

  2. What is a defining characteristic from your culture/family/background that you still hold to be significant today? Why is that skill/trait/behavior important to you?

  3. What lessons are you passing down to those around you. Even if you aren’t a parent or have small kids in your life, what story are you presenting for the world to see about your faith and God?

  4. Talk about Daniel, Hananiah, Meshial and Azariah. How does their faith inspire you?

  5. These four men chose to be different in a difficult situation. How can you choose to be different in your life? Not for the sake of just standing out, but specifically challenging the norms of society for Jesus.

  6. Act. Actively seek conversation with one person this week that is from a different place than you. Seek to understand their story and what makes them who they are. I bet you can find someone in the church that would be willing to have this conversation with you!
