Christian Living Necessities
Text | Luke 8:1-3
Discussion Questions
Heart
Jesus brings His disciples with
Him because discipleship requires
investments of time. Do you value getting to know Jesus more and more? Is it clear by your investment of time with Him?
Home
The home is intended by God to
be a place where discipleship happens.
We are meant to spend time together
with our families in a way that points us
towards Christ. However, there are many thieves of time together. What are some interests and activities that seek to negatively impact your home? How can you work against it?
Harvest
The overall effort of the
disciples’ time with Jesus was for them to become like Him. The impact of
becoming like Him is loving others like He does. How is your time with Jesus
helping you love God and others like
Him?

Grace in Action
Text | Luke 7:36-50
Discussion Questions
Heart
In this chapter the Pharisee is
being forced to watch the sinful woman
trust Jesus. She is a grateful mess. Her
entire life is rearranged and she is
desperate to show her gratitude for His
kindness. What ways do you seek to
show your gratitude for His kindness to
you?
Home
The home is clearly intended to
be a place to worship Jesus. The
Pharisee’s home is unintentionally the
site where his own shallow worship is
exposed. His failure to show basic
hospitality revealed the deeper problem
of his own heart. Does your home
express the kind of gratitude that honors Jesus? How can your home become a place of intentional worship?
Harvest
Jesus says, “he who has been
forgiven little, loves little.” The more we
think through the Gospel story, the
deeper His grace drives into our own
lives. But if we want to express our love
to Jesus for His goodness, then we offer it to others. Who are you able to show kingdom hospitality to this week in gratitude to Christ?

Invitation to Greatness
Text | Luke 7:24-30
Discussion Questions
Heart
Scripture demonstrates
repeatedly the great danger of pride. The impact of pride on our hearts is most deadly when it keeps us from believing what God says about our guilt. Why is confession of sin before God essential for the life of the Christian?
Home
The greatest blessing God
offers anyone is closeness with Him
through His Son. How then are you
helping your home love the full range of
God’s blessing on those in His Kingdom?

great invitation God is making available
to them through Jesus. How will you help them hear it this week?

The Key Question
Text | Luke 7:18-23
Discussion Questions
Heart
John is seeking peace as he
faces likely death in prison. The key
question that John asks is on the identity of Christ. Why does having that question settled help provide peace and purpose for all other concerns of life?
Home
Doubts are not uncommon to
the Christian. The place we go for
comfort needs to be informed by John’s
example. When in doubt he took his
concern to Jesus for help. How can you
help your home turn to the Savior in
times of crisis?
Harvest
When John sought clarity,
Jesus brough him back to the Word. How is your trust in God’s Word leading you to live differently than those around you? How is the world able to notice your trust in God’s Word?

Discussion Questions
Heart

labor? Do they help you bless your
worship or do they distract you from

Home

Harvest
What are the consequences
upon the harvest field of souls if the
church is led by emotions that don’t
submit to godliness? How might it be
impacted if we are properly led by godly compassion?

Marvelous Faith
Text | Luke 7: 1-10
Discussion Questions
Heart
We are told that the Centurion
loved the Jewish nation. Surely he loved them because he loved their God. He sought to bless them in their relationship with God by giving them a synagogue. How does your love of God help others love God better?
Home
It is clear that the Centurion
trusted Jesus with the health of his
servant. Jesus marveled at his faith. How can our homes display a similar faith by bringing our loved ones to Jesus for His care as well?
Harvest
The book of James reminds
us that “faith without works is dead.” The community around us needs to see our faith at work. Where is God leading you to act in your care for others? What will obedience for you look like this week?
