growgroups are taking a break for the summer, but here are some questions for personal study, or for discussion around your meal table at home.

  • 6:3 – Why did knowing Jesus’ family cause the people in Nazareth to take offense at Him?

  • How do we draw the line between faith (trusting God to do something amazing) and presumption (insisting that He must do something)? Think of examples of presumptive prayer you’ve seen. How did this strike you?
  • 6:7 The bible doesn’t say, but when Jesus gave the disciples the authority to cast out demons, do you think they felt different afterwards? If so how?
  • Does the phrase “familiarity breeds contempt” reflect your relationship with Jesus at all? In what way? Take some time to talk to Him about it.

  • Do you believe that someone can be a Christian and miss the reason that God created them for? Why or why not?
