![]() He did not even realize how bitter and jaded he had become. “Where is your faith?” Simon’s wife asked him. It showed a women being the spiritual leader of her household. ![]() I personally loved this episode for multiple reasons. During this hour we see Jesus teach about what it means to be fishers of men- and trust that God will take care of us. Is it strange or refreshing for you to think of Jesus as personable and why?Ģ) What does it say to you that Jesus intentionally made time for children?ģ) “Adults need the faith of children.” How can we intentionally have faith as a child?Ĥ) It was easy for Abigail to tell her friends about Jesus- how easy is it for you? What struggles do you face when telling your friends and family about Jesus?Ĥ- The Chosen Episode Four: The Rock on Which it is Built ![]() Luke 18: 15-17 (Let the children come), Mark 9:42, Mark 3:13-19 (the disciples appointed)ġ) Jesus is shown as personable. May we all venture to be as abundantly filled with hope and faith. Begging the question- do you embrace a childlike faith? This was my favorite episode! There was very little action- it was all about Jesus and the kids. The bold and simple faith of childhood is on display. What are some ways you could use rest as a restorative gift in your life?Ģ) Which Sabbath was Jesus a part of and why? Which Sabbath would you have been at and why?ģ) Simon Peter and Andrew were in a tough/desperate position, what do you think about how they handled it? How would you have handled the dilemma they were in?Ĥ) When a miracle happens, are you one to question every detail, or just enjoy and celebrate it?ģ- The Chosen Episode Three: Jesus Loves the Little ChildrenĪ group of kids learn from Jesus for a week. A moving episode.ĭeuteronomy 5:12-14 (The Sabbath) Matthew 18:15-17 (Resolving conflict, tax collectors) Matthew 17:24-27 (Jesus and Tax Collectors)ġ) We rest and honor family, our people and God on the Sabbath, we refresh our souls. We also get a little more background on the difficulties of being Jewish and living under Roman rule. In this episode we see Jesus perform a miracle that the holy leaders cannot. How can we remind ourselves of this truth and live it out in our daily lives? What were some things you found interesting?Ģ) What did you think of how Matthew the tax collector and Simon Peter were portrayed? Can you identify with their character traits/personalities?ģ) Why do you think Jesus appaears to Mary first? Jesus calls Mary by her name and tells her she is redeemed. Luke 8:1-15 (Mary, Seed Parable, Parable Meanings) Mark 16: 6-11 (Jesus appears to Mary first)ġ) It’s interesting to see how the religious and political environment looked in Jesus’ day. (PS- the Gospels don’t tell us a lot about Mary besides the fact that she had means and that Jesus drove demons from her) I’m going into the rest of the series with an open mind and heart, excited to see the gospel as a story in a package I haven’t experienced it in yet. Mary was never a Bible character I had really personally empathized with before, and imagining the disciples living a normal life before Jesus was jarring in a good way. It took me a little bit to get into this episode, but by the end of it my interest was piqued. We are introduced to Mary Magdelene and a few of the disciples. Luke 2:8-20 (The shepherds are told about Jesus)ġ) Is your church open to the hurting? Ministering to the community? Why do you think it is harder for some churches to look beyond the four walls?Ģ) What did you think about the way they portrayed the angels telling the shepherds the news?ģ) Did this episode change your perspective of the manger scene at all?ġ- The Chosen Episode One: I Have Called You By Name ![]() We see the miracle of the manger from the perspective of a shepherd whose entire life was changed by the event. But they were told first of Jesus’ birth. ![]() Shepherds were not well thought of nomads, smelly, and lowly in society. The Chosen Pilot or Season 1 Episode 0 (Christmas Special): The Shepherd Please feel free to allow the Holy Ghost to lead you in following up on the discussion questions with those in your group). (These questions are meant to be a “guide” of sorts - you do not have to use them word for word. ![]()
