Here is the video in case you missed it. Below we have attached our small group discussion questions as well.
1.
Have everyone take a minute to write down their
high and their low this week on a separate sheet of paper, fold it up and put
it in a hat or a bowl. Mix them up and have each person draw two out. If they
get their own they need to put it back and grab another one.
Take turns reading the highs and trying to
guess which person wrote it and if it was a high or a low.
Eg. You draw out one that says, “Ate ten
hamburgers.” And one that says, “Did not have soccer practice.” You guess Jimmy
the Jackelope did the first and it was his high and the second was Jenny and it
was also a high.
The person who actually had the high or low
reveals their secret.
The guesser can earn up to 4 starbursts if
they guess the person and the high or low correctly for both slips they pull
out.
The person whose card is read can earn up
to 2 starbursts if the guesser chooses someone else or if they choose the high
or low incorrectly.
The wrongly accused gets nothing.
2.
Have you ever prayed that Jesus would strike a
bargain with you? Where he does something miraculous and then you would believe
in him? What did you ask for? What happened?
Is belief in God something that comes easy
for you or hard for you? Why? Is it sometimes one and sometimes the other?
If you have ever experienced something that
you would call a miracle, tell the story.
Why do you think our brains may not be well
equipped to believe miraculous signs?
3.
Read John 2:23-25
What would happen if you saw something like
Jesus turning water into wine? How would you react?
What did the people in this passage do when
they saw Jesus perform his signs?
Then why would Eric say that miracles do
not result in a lasting faith, based on this passage? Where is that in this
section? How do you think he came to that conclusion?
4.
Eric said that you are in a process. That you
have to show up before you are curious, be curious and ask questions before you
believe, etc. That is what the Christian life is, constantly taking another
step towards Jesus.
Where are you at in the process right
now?
If you saw Jesus do a miracle do
you believe enough to believe it right now? Why or why not?
Eric said, “Don’t wait for a
miracle.” What is the next logical step you feel like you need to take towards
Jesus?
Is there anything hindering you from
taking that step?
