Lent week 3 (March 16)
1. Share your highs & lows!
2. Discussion Guide -
- What was the last celebration you had? (Details! Occasion? What did you do? etc.)
- Who are the people you cheer for in life? How about the people that cheer for you?
- This is a hard question, but be as honest as possible - are there people you find it difficult to be happy for? Can you reflect a bit and wonder about why that might be?
- What does it mean to be jealous?
- When is it hard to be happy for someone else...?
- What helps you move out of a bad mood? Are you able to on your own? Do you like input from other people? (why/why not?)
- What are three things you're grateful for? (Can you go a little bit deeper than surface level?)
Scripture reading - Luke 15:25-32
Reflect:
- In your own words, what do you think these verses are saying?
- What questions does it raise for you?
- Is there a character you feel like you relate to?
- As a pair, try reading this scene dramatically, like a play. Can you bring it to life?
Notes:
- Romans 12:15 says "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." Have you seen this demonstrated before? Have you had the opportunity to do either one?
*Prayer time – Pray for each other’s highs & lows or anything else on your mind!
Dear God, thank you for (highs). Please be with us in the midst of (lows).
Amen.
