Reflection/Discussion Questions:
A moment with Jesus was worth a broken roof and ruined reputation. What prevents us from bringing those that are hurting to Jesus? What would that look like for us to do this today?
Which group do you identify with the most? The Crowd, the friends and the paralytic, or the scribes?
Jesus was celebrated by those with faith and He disappointed those that had unbelief. Do you struggle with unbelief? Do you find yourself being cynical towards Christians?
The best news is that instead of “a” healing we have “the” Healer.
How do you present Jesus to others? The healer or a healer?
What will you do this week that will require you to be more courageous with your faith?
Pray for one another to be courageous in your witness of Christ.
Clarify:
Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?
Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Through the Bible in one Year
Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.
All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
