Study Questions:

1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you?

2. Describe a time when Jesus showed up in your life through completely wrecking your plans. Why are “desert” seasons for us the people of God?

3. Why is it difficult for us to allow others to help us? How can we help one another with this in community.

4. How do you know, personally, that God’s grace is sufficient? What does that look like in our lives? How does community help us with the fear that it might not be?

Day By Day

September 20, 2015 • Michael McCracken

Study Questions: 1. To what (or whom) are you devoted? What proof is there? 2. What do you think of when you think about fellowship? What would change in our life if our "fellowship" paradigm was more in sync with the early church? 3. Why does Luke speak so much about the breaking of bread? Why is it significant that the people were receiving food with glad and generous hearts? Why is it so hard to embrace the day to day? Additional Scripture References: Mark 16:20
