Discipleship Guide & Reflection Questions

Reading this week: Luke chapters 9 and 10

  • Questions for Reflection/Discussion:

ENCOURAGE:

  • Consider Luke 10:20. What does it mean practically to “rejoice that your names are written in heaven”? What warning is embedded in Jesus’ words?

CHALLENGE:

  • Reread Luke 10:25-37. What do you think caused the priest and Levite to bypass the beaten man? What caused the Samaritan to stop? What challenges you most in your answers?
  • Reread Luke 10:38-42. What do you resonate most with in this story? What do you think is the “good portion” that Mary chose? How does that challenge your own tendencies when it comes to “being” versus “doing”?
  • Discuss how you’re progressing with your “Rule of Life.”
