Gospel Line Dance Ministry Meeting

We are meeting at the Point Loma Campus.

1st Floor, Room 144 (behind the community room)

After you enter the lobby, walk past the elevators and the community room, go through the double doors on your right, and walk all the way down the walkway almost to the end. Room 144 will be on your right.

Devotional (6:00pm-7:00pm) and line dancing (7:00pm-8:00pm).

During our devotional time, we will discuss The Chosen (study below). During our line dancing time, we will learn easy beginner level line dances.

The Big Question:
What is your one BIG question from this episode? (What captured your imagination most, and what would you ask God about the events portrayed?)

Bring to Group:
What quote from this episode was the most meaningful/impactful to you? Why?

Group Discussion Questions:
1. Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving?

2. The disciples return from their mission. How did this portrayal of their surprise, delight and confusion strike you? Why was James concerned about “more fuss and scrutiny?”

3. Andrew said he felt “powerful.” He was told that feeling was “dangerous if that is the feeling we hold onto.” How can our feelings in ministry distract or disrupt us?

4. There is unresolved tension between Simon and Eden. How did this make you feel uneasy about during the episode? How does tension in Christian relationships spill over and impact others?

5. Joseph of Arimathea (Rabbi Joseph; seek Mark 15:43) and Jairus admit their belief in Jesus to one another. Why was it dangerous for them? What did the Sanhedrin edict later declare? Why was it difficult for these Jewish religious leaders to acknowledge Jesus?

6. Eden meets Veronica, and we learn that she has had a bleeding disease for 12 years. It’s setting the stage for her encounter with Jesus. How did you feel seeing her back story portrayed? What did you learn?

7. Capernaum’s main cistern has been damaged and must be fixed. When something we depend on “breaks,” we feel powerless. What has left you feeling powerless or at your wit’s end lately?

8. Ministry costs money. We see the need for financing. The women discuss how to help. (Luke 8:2-3) Why do our finances cause such stress? How can we learn to depend upon God’s gracious provision? What must be sacrificed at times for ministry? 

9. Some hurtful things are said in multiple conversations. How can we learn to “speak the truth in love?”

Quotes:
“If people knew something that would help, I wouldn’t want them to withhold it.” (Veronica to Eden about water) 

“Five words: You are right. I’m sorry.”  (Gaius to Peter)
