the Ethiopian
Isaiah 53:7-8…do you understand?

John 8:11 - “go and sin no more”
James 2:6-7 - favoritism
Mark 12:30-31
Bottom line:
Questions to Discuss or Ponder:
- How do you know when God is calling you to do something? How do you tell the difference between God’s call and your own desire?
- Who would be the modern-day equivalent of the “Ethiopian” today?
- In what way(s) do we take having a personal copy of the Scriptures for granted? What would it be like to not have a copy we can read any time?
- What are some passages or stories in the Bible that you struggle to understand?
- Have you ever been an outsider? Describe that experience. What does it feel like to finally be “included” or “welcomed”?
- What is the difference between welcoming and approving? How does the church hold those two things in tension?
