Truth: Real Love Changes Lives
What was the truth from last week? Did the value of Authenticity take deeper root in your heart this past week as you thought about it?
Read Luke 19:1-10
As you interact with the character of Zacchaeus, what seems to be his major issues?
Check out verse 7, why are the people grumbling?
What is graciousness and how is it displayed in the life of Jesus in this story? (Answers: compassion, seeing past the symptoms, right into the heart of Zacchaeus…)
Which character(s) do you most identify with right now, Zacchaeus, the crowd or Jesus? Why?
Regarding the value of graciousness, we say as we receive grace, we give it away. What are some opportunities in your life where you can give grace away?
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?
