GROWTH GROUP / PERSONAL REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. The lame man expected to receive money but instead received a miraculous healing. Peter and John offered him something else, though. How does this story challenge our expectations of what we, and others, need from God?
2. In what ways do you reflect Jesus well? In what ways do you not reflect Jesus well?
3. Read Luke 5:17-26. What similarities do you see with this passage and Acts 3:1-10? What differences do you see?
4. The healed man responded by walking, leaping, and praising God. If you've experience God's work in our life, how have you responded? In what ways can we cultivate hearts of gratitude and praise?
