Discussion Questions August 2008

Adults

Ministering to others in spite of losing virtually everything he had – that’s why Dr. Bertucci is celebrated as a “modern disciple.”  Who do you know who has exemplified extraordinary generosity in the face of personal loss?

When has a loss sharpened your sense of gratitude for having had in the first place what was lost – or for the other gifts of God in your life?

Stewardship and discipleship…  In what way are those two concepts the same?  Are there ways that they are different?  How?

Teens

Who are the “modern disciples” in your life?  How are they using their God-given talents for others?

Sometimes a loss inspires people to see more clearly and be more grateful for all of the other blessings in their lives; sometimes they become angry, depressed, or embittered instead.  Have you known someone who has suffered a major loss in their life?  How did that person react?

If you were arrested for being a disciple of Jesus, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Children

Who are the real heroes in your life?  What makes them seem so special to you?

A disciple is someone who follows Jesus.  How did the doctor described in this issue show that he was a follower of Jesus?

Are you a disciple of Jesus?  In what ways do you show it?
