Life-Giving Truth

 

Truth: People are worth stopping for

 

What was the truth from last week? Did the value of Graciousness take deeper root in your heart this past week as you thought about it?

 

Read Mark 5:21-34

 

As you interact with the character of the story what are you initial thoughts?

 

Now read Leviticus 15:25-28

 

What are the problems as seen by Jewish law and culture regarding both activity of the woman and Jesus?

 

Within this story, what is the level of focus as seen in the life of Jesus and this woman?

 

Reflect on Matthew 20:28; Luke 19:9-10

 

Name a few things (good, bad or whatever) that are a source of distraction in your life.

 

Do you see any of these things getting in the way of living a life of focus the way Jesus did?

 

Who in your life is worth stopping for right now?

 

Life-Giving Relationships

 

Are there any stories of God working in your heart as a result of prayer from previous weeks? How can we pray for your heart this week to allow graciousness to work itself in and through your life?
