How Jesus Offers Us Direction and Belonging
World's Best Hope
Discussion questions to help you unpack the message with others.
- What is your favorite summertime activity? What is your least favorite?
- What stood out to you most from the message?
- Think of a time or a situation when you were lost. How did you find (or try to find) your way back?
- Where in your life have you felt (or currently feel) disconnected, isolated, or desperate?
- Read Luke 19:7-10. Where have you experienced Jesus’ acceptance and forgiveness in your life? Where do you still need or want to experience it?
- What can make it difficult for you to empathize and connect with others?
- What is one step you can take to connect to (or be vulnerable with) Jesus this week?
Prayer
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for seeking us and wanting to connect with us. If we start to feel lost, seek us and bring us back to you. Let us experience your powerful love in our lives throughout this week. Amen.”
Bonus Questions
Check these out if you’re on a roll and want to go a little deeper.
- When you start to become disconnected or isolated, how do you usually respond? Is there anything about your typical reaction that you’d change?
- Read Galatians 5:22-23. Where in your life have you experienced these fruits of the Spirit? Which one(s) could you use more in your life right now?
New around here? We'd love to connect
What does the Bible say about isolation? In the Book of Luke, God teaches us that no one is insignificant or alone, no matter the path they have walked. If you – like many of us – are feeling overwhelmed by loneliness in modern society, you are welcome here. Join us as Crossroads’ Senior Pastor Brian Tome shares the good news about a God who searches for the lost, provides direction, and restores hope.
