The Philosopher Jesus: Answers for Life
Luke 9: 46-50
Prayer Requests:
Read aloud Luke 9:46-50
1. Jesus shows his patience throughout the Gospels. How else has God demonstrated His patience with humanity? In what ways is Jesus patient with you? How does this fact give you hope?
2. Jesus gives the disciples (and us) an object lesson in humility. Often we consider words like humble & meek to mean weak in the bible, what does biblical humility look like? How do we remain humble in a culture that stresses the individual?
3. Jesus demonstrates through His life the importance of service and Kingdom mindset. Where is God leading you to serve? What is keeping you from serving in God’s Kingdom?
4. Jesus explains that it isn’t about “me”. We are to put first the Kingdom of God. What area of your life are you putting before God?
Family Time:
Discuss the idea of having a “Kingdom mindset”. Discuss the fad of “WWJD” bracelets. Explain having a “kingdom mindset” is putting Jesus and the kingdom before your own desires. Discuss how as a family you can stay focused on the Kingdom. Pray that God reveal His plan for your family and the area that you can serve.
