DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Head
- Read Luke 10:30-42 (The Good Samaritan and at the Home of Martha & Mary)
- Scholars believe Luke “coupled” these two stories together on purpose. What’s the connection?
- AVAD intertwines work with service with worship. What are ways AVAD might be our response to the Greatest Commandment in Luke 10:27?
- What are some turning points for Jesus’s life, ministry, and example in Luke 10?
Heart
- Tell about a time you really got the sense that your service to God was worshiping God.
- Read Romans 12: 3-13. Which example of service best describes you? Give an example.
- Do you relate more to being a Martha or a Mary? Why?
Hands
- God referred to our everyday vocations as the “masks” of God. On the surface others see an ordinary human face—a mother or father, a doctor or teacher or waitress, a student or athlete, a “neighbor”—but beneath the outward appearance, God is serving us through them. God is hidden in human “callings”. Can you think of a time you experienced the presence of God in someone else?
- What’s a simple yet significant act of service you can easily perform this week?
