Join us as we dive deeper into the scripture passage from this past Sunday morning. Whether you’re in a group or just wanting to talk around the dinner table, you can use this discussion guide as we allow God’s word to shape us together in community!
Starting Off
What ways have you seen God at work in the past week?
If you lost your sight, What would you miss seeing the most?
Read
22 They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Can you see anything?” 24 And the man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent him away to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”
Mark 8:22-26 (NLT)
Discussion
When it comes to seeing Jesus, are you:
a. Almost blind?
b. Seeing blurred shapes?
c. Enjoying 20/20 vision…share and explain…
Why did Jesus take the man out of the village before he healed him?
Why did Jesus heal the man in stages and not just all at once? Is there significance to this?
Who has helped you receive your spiritual sight? How did it happen in your life… all at once or over a process of time?
What’s one area of your life that makes it more difficult to see Jesus clearly? How can the group best pray for you?
