Discussion Questions:

-Scripture obviously teaches us to go, so why do you think so many people have the mindset of, “why are we sending people there, when there is so much to do here?”

-What is the best way to overcome this mindset?

-How can we get American churches not just to overcome a negative mindset of missions, but switch to a positive mindset?

Look, the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone. The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air. The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming. Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!” Song of Songs 2:11‭-‬13 NLT

Discussion Questions:

In the blog post, you talk about the momentum of a miracle movement. The implication from scripture is that there is some dependency on the level of “faith” in the ministry situations that even Jesus was a part of. He built the faith of the people that he was ministering to. How do we grapple with that in the context of our own ministries?

We’ve been talking about the level of faith in individuals and the role that faith has in the supernatural. I think the next step in a common thought process is to deal with the seeming dichotomy of sovereignty and pressing into miracles. What do you see that scripture and church history teaches us about this topic?

Freedom from sin.

Discussion Questions:

The Bible clearly states the role of miracles in Jesus' ministry. Why do you think there is such a polarized response to the reality of miracles in ministry today?

If a person finds themselves on the cynical side of a miracle situation, what advice would you give them to help them seek truth?
