How Jesus Offers Us Direction and Belonging
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?
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.”
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.
