OUTLINE:

• Team sport (9:1-2)
• Tension (9:2)
• Trust (9:3-4)
• Tough (9:5-6)
• Tidy Up (9:7-9)
• Time out (9:10-11)

QUESTIONS:

1. Was there anything specifically that stood out to you or struck you in this passage?
2. Team Sport- (Luke 9:1-2) (Mark 6:7) Are there any areas of your life that you are trying to follow Jesus alone? What keeps you from inviting others in and ministering with them?
3. Tension- (Luke 9:2) They went out to proclaim and perform. Are you more truth or grace oriented? How can we grow in doing both well?
4. Trust- (Luke 9:3-4) Where in your life do you find it most difficult to trust Him to provide for your needs (Financially, Relationally, Emotionally, Spiritually)? In what way can you take a step of faith toward Him in that today?
5. Tough- (Luke 9:5-6) How do you typically respond when people don't receive you? How does Jesus invite us to respond?
6. Tidy-Up (Luke 9:7-9) Herod was troubled because his life was full of trash. What trash do you need to take to Jesus today?
