Questions for week February 16th - 22nd

I Love My Church

Love People

Luke 10:25-37

1) Just for Fun: Give everyone a sheet of paper and have them pair up and write down as many songs with the word “Love” in the title that they can come up with. And if you could not think of any, click here to see 565 of them. Also, you may want to give some chocolate to the ones who named the most songs.

Read Luke 10:25-37

2) Why do you think Jesus chose to include a priest, a Levite, and a Samaritan as characters in this story?

3) Reread verse 29. What do you think is the real question the Jewish lawyer was asking?  The Jewish lawyer wanted to do only what he had to do when it came to loving people. Have you ever found yourself doing the same? Why do you think we have a tendency at times to give our least to those in need of it the most?

4) What natural motivations make it more easy to act like the priest and the Levite than like the Samaritan?

5) How practical was the Samaritan’s approach to the man in need? Do you have a tendency to over complicate Loving People? 

6) Compassion moved the Good Samaritan to action. What things are you compassionate about that move you to action?

7) If you have a Good Samaritan story in your life, (where you have been blessed by a Good Samaritan or you have been a Good Samaritan), share your story with your life group.
