Discussion Questions for 05/29/22
Prayerfully read Matthew 28:16-20 before answering the below questions. What ideas stick out to you in this text?
Verse 16 says some of the disciples worshipped, but some doubted. Doubt here is not stark unbelief, but more like hesitation - am I really seeing what I think I’m seeing?. They were experiencing an astounding supernatural event and were not sure how to react. Jesus saving YOU is “an astounding supernatural event”. Does this regularly lead you to worship God and love others, or do you hesitate? Why?
The disciples were available to Jesus. Interact with the question Pastor Craig asked - Are you available to be used by God?
Do you find it difficult that Jesus has authority over you and can actually tell you what to do? Discuss. Do you obey him?
Are the definitions of disciple, christian, and discipleship that were discussed helpful to you? How?
Interact with the idea that knowledge of the bible can lead to spiritual obesity.
Engage the idea that most of the folk you interact with (specifically in the Millennial and Gen Z crowd) see you as hypocritical, homophobic, too political, judgmental, out of touch, pushy, anti-science, and as a conspiracy theorist. Is this your reality?
How can you engage being a missionary in your context more faithfully?
