SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Spiritual growth happens when we receive new knowledge and then apply it to our lives. This always happens best in the context of community. Take time this week and engage in these additional scriptures and questions on your own. Then, discuss them with your Small Group.“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” Proverbs 27:17
GETTING STARTED
What did you learn this week that was most interesting, confusing or helpful? What was challenging to you that the group can help you better understand?
Going Deeper
In what ways can we identify with the beggar's feeling trapped in cycles of suffering and hopelessness? (Do you know someone like that?)
Reflecting on Acts 3:1-11, how did Peter and John respond to the beggar's request for money, and what can we learn from their response?
Reflecting on the teaching point that "You have the answer that everyone is looking for: Jesus," how does this change our perspective on our role in helping others?
Pastor Luke stated that knowing Jesus is the true solution to life's struggles. In what ways do you agree or disagree?
Where Scripture meets life
What practical steps can we take to "see" others as Peter and John did, recognizing their needs and offering them Jesus?
We often think of preaching a sermon when we talk about sharing Jesus with others. What are some other practical ways of sharing Jesus with those in our lives?
Share with the group one way you plan on “Seeing” someone this week.
