CONNECTING QUESTIONS
As a group, try to think of some activities (like a Rubik’s cube) that seem like they should be simple but are actually very challenging? What is it that makes them so challenging?
SCRIPTURE QUESTIONS
Read Matthew 12:1-14. Why do you think the religious leaders were so furious over Jesus healing this man? Did they have any real reason to be? Why or why not?
Last week we talked discussed why each of the 6 areas (from Acts 2:42-27) was important to a healthy church. This week discuss what you think makes each one challenging or difficult for people to participate in.
