GROUP QUESTIONS
- As a group, read Mark 2:1-12. What do you find interesting? What questions does this passage raise?
- Jesus said, “I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” Why would
His act of healing help people trust His act of forgiveness? - Think about a time when God has proven worthy of faith. Share it with the group.
- When Jim was reflecting on his own faith, he said: ”God may do some good stuff in my life - and I hope that He does and I’m going to keep asking to do it. But, my faith cannot rest on what God might or might not do today.” Why can’t our faith rest solely on what God may or may not do today?
- Three characteristics of a trustworthy person are:
a. honesty (“I will do for you what I say I will do”),
b. ability (“I can do for you what I say I will do”), and
c. benevolence (“I want to do for you what I say I will do”). - Think about these attributes of a trustworthy person. How do they relate to a trustworthy God?
