Un/Broken - End of Week 5
SMALL GROUP STUDY GUIDE
END OF WEEK 5
Small Group Discussion Guide
The following guide is designed to serve as a potential framework for your discussion. Feel free to use it as is, or adapt, as the Spirit leads.
OPEN
Shared experiences and mutual respect are important for us as we build friendships and also build a healthy understanding of who we are. As you get together today, share with the group a time when your respect for your friends grew through something that you all went through together.
GETTING INTO THE TOPIC
Jesus was deeply moved in this pericope. He cried, which would have been seen as something less than masculine in his time. We see that Jesus was often someone who eschewed cultural and societal norms. What do you think we can learn from this episode in the life of Jesus?
How do you think the disciples would have interacted and understood the way Jesus was behaving and feeling?
How does this stack up to the experience that happened right afterward with Peter pulling out a sword?
HEAD
We are always fighting what is expected of us. In the first century, there was much expected of men in particular. Today, while things are different, are there expectations for both men and women that we, as Christians, should be pushing against? And what would those be?
HEART
How can we help one another lead more authentic and honest lives, both emotionally and spiritually?
What kind of homes and safe places will we need to create to live our most authentic lives?
HANDS
As you sit with your Connect Group, can you share a time when you were vulnerable with your emotions and how it went? Did it go well? Was it painful? What would you do differently?
What can we learn from each of these experiences?
WORDS TO REMEMBER
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also. 2 Corinthians 6:11-13
