October 8 – Parables

  1. Have you ever received a gift, gone on a trip, read a book, or watched a movie that was a huge disappointment, and didn’t live up to the hype?

2. One of the parables talks about counting the cost…. the “I-4 Eyesore”

3. Did you have any questions from the homework?

Luke 9:23-26
4. In what ways do you look to material things or popular measures of achievement to define, protect, satisfy you?

Luke 14:25-35
5. What parallels do you see between business/tower building/military/war making and your faith

6. Are there any long-term costs you can envision as you choose the route of life-long discipleship?

7. It seems like we all have given up SO MUCH this year. Is there something that letting go of has helped you in your faith? Is there something that supports your faith that you deeply miss?

8. What does following God during a pandemic look like, specifically, vs following God during your “normal” life?

Last: Do you sense that God had a word or gift for you this week through your time in Scripture?
