The Life Week 7: "I See"


If you missed Sunday's conversation, you can find the podcast HERE.

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:

John 9

REFLECT/DISCUSS:

Q: Have you ever struggled with the question of why bad things happen if God is in control?  What’s your usual response?  What have you heard others say? Does John 9 shed any light on this issue for you?

Q: Why do you think Jesus chose to use spit, dirt and a face washing to heal this man when Jesus has healed with just a word in other situations?

Q: How do you feel about what the blind man’s parents did in this story?  Can you imagine being in their shoes?

Q: Re-read John 9 and note the blind man’s progression of ideas about/faith in Jesus.  Write them down.  What does this say to you about faith and your own journey?

Q: How has Jesus changed the way you see God, yourself and the world?  What has He opened your eyes to?  Take some time to pray and thank Him.

Q: What are some areas that you still have blind spots in?   Ask God to show you what He wants you to see.

FOR NEXT WEEK:
John 10
