Severed Heads & the Disciple’s Life
Group Discussion Guide
Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community who desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out to you about this week's teaching?
What - if anything - do you feel rising up in your heart when authority is mentioned in the Bible?
How does Jesus confront those feelings here?
How can you “be with Jesus” in this season in a way that carries you into the next? Be specific.
How does image management compete with Jesus in our faith?
Where have you seen this in your life?
Why is there power in naming our sin? Why can’t we stop there?
