The Big Question:
What is your one BIG question from this episode? (What captured your imagination most, and what would you ask God about the events portrayed?)

Bring to Group:
What quote from this episode was the most meaningful/impactful to you? Why?

Group Discussion Questions:
1. Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving?

2. The episode opens with John interviewing the disciples about their memories of Jesus. How would you share about how you met Jesus? Who do you enjoy talking with about Jesus? Why?

3. The disciples were gathered to mourn the loss of John’s brother James. He had been martyred (Acts 12:1-2). Why is it good to simply reflect on Jesus during hard times?

4. The disciples consistently seemed to “lose Jesus.” ;) How do we seek to control Jesus? How do we try to make Him fit our agenda?

5. There was tension between Rema’s father, Thomas and Jesus. Why? How hard is it to trust Jesus over family?

6. Jesus heals the Samaritan cripple without being present. While he stayed there, the cripple told his story. How did Jesus treatment of him impact you?

7. When Jesus stayed overnight in the Samaritan priest’s house, He was asked why he didn’t correct the priest when he said one room was haunted. “I don’t address everything at once,” He replied. How grateful are you that God is patient with our ignorance.

8.We see James and John and their intensity. Jesus rebukes them creatively. He said, “You’re not more worthy than they!” Why is that a message we need to hear?

9. What other questions could you ask?

Quotes:
“I cannot give you my belief or my devotion but my honesty and my daughter are all I have left to give.“ - Rema’s father

“Strong passion can be good when channeled for righteousness.” - Jesus, to James and John
