Wednesday [BE>DO]:
Think about this week’s questions for group discussion:

Spend some time this week, either with your family or with your group (or both!) simply praying, slowly, through this prayer.

  1. How does the way Jesus deals with the 3 individuals (all 3 being social outcasts in some way) speak to the way we should respond to people around us?
  2. Consider the difference between Jesus’ sovereign power and his sovereign will. What does it mean in our lives to trust both?
  3. In the face of sickness (our own and others’), what does it look like to go to Jesus for healing? (Consider the sermon text & James 5:14-18)
 
Thursday [DO]:
In a journal, spend some time consider the following:
  1. What insights have you had while internalizing this week’s passage?
  2. How specifically will you seek to apply its truths in your home/workplace/life in general?
