Discipleship Guide & Reflection Questions

• Reading this week: Luke 14:7-35

This week we will pause briefly from our normal “reading plan” to consider Jesus’ own teaching on hospitality (the topic we discussed this past Sunday)

• Questions for Reflection/Discussion:

ENCOURAGE:

• Point out the ways in which you’ve been positively impacted by the hospitality of others. What about these experiences stands out?
• What encouragement did you receive from the teaching and/or panel event this past Sunday?

CHALLENGE:

• What are your current objections to living a life of intentional hospitality? Is the main barrier time? Busyness? Pressure to entertain? Isolation? Walk each other through these concerns and how you might address them together.
• What stands out to you in the passage above regarding Jesus’ teaching on what hospitality means in His kingdom? What surprises you most? What challenges you most?
• Discuss how you’re progressing with your “Rule of Life” and how your rule of life might be impacted by new rhythms of hospitality.
