John 6:3-13 NLT
Reflection/Discussion Questions: If sharing is important to teach our kids, why do we, as adults, sometimes resist sharing?
Reflection/Discussion Questions: What is one thing you hate to share? Why? How do you usually feel when someone shares something with you? How do you usually feel when you share something with someone else? Has anyone shared something with you this past week that you didn't expect?
John 6:3 NLT
John 13:4-5 NLT
John 13:14-15 NLT
Reflection/Discussion Questions: How did Jesus change the disciples' lives by sharing his life with them? How did Jesus change the world by sharing (giving up) his life for it? What lessons can we learn from the way Jesus shared his life with others? How can sharing our lives with others change someone’s life? How can sharing our lives with others change our lives? Share about someone who has changed your life by sharing their life with you. Take the challenge this week- thank the people who have supported you and impacted your life. Have you positively impacted someone else's life? Has anyone ever thanked you for impacting and changing their life? How did that make you feel? What are some fun ways to share your life with others?
Acts of the Apostles 4:32-35 NLT
Reflection/Discussion Questions: What's one reason sharing what you have might sometimes be difficult? What are some things you have more than enough of that you could share with others? During this season of giving and sharing, do you have an idea of how you want to share with others?
John 6:9 NLT
Reflection/Discussion Questions: Our brains get used to things. This leaves us feeling like we don’t have enough. Have you ever had the thought that you didn’t have enough of something? (Time, $, things, energy, etc.) What was it in reference to? Have you recently invested in an experience? What was it? How do you feel when you think about that experience?
John 6:5-6 NLT
Reflection/Discussion Questions: What’s the dumbest idea you’ve ever had? What’s about the best? Has someone ever shared an idea that you thought was amazing? What was the idea? How does it feel to see one of your ideas become a reality? On a scale of 1-10, how much do you believe your ideas can change the world? Why do you think Jesus let His followers solve problems with Him, instead of solving them all Himself? Share an idea you have that you think could help others during this season of giving. (Coming up- Christmas Shoppe, Angel Tree) What can you or your growth group do to help turn some of those ideas into things?
