The Vineyard- February 24, 2013


The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Luke 5:17-26
- Who brings the paralyzed man to Jesus?  What does Jesus noticed about these men?
- Why do the scribes and some of the Pharisees object to the man’s being healed?  Why do they find Jesus words objectionable?
- How do you think Jesus’ knew what they were thinking?
- Why does Jesus tell the man his sins are forgiven?  What is the connection between forgiving his sins, and healing his body?
- Have you ever felt paralyzed by something in your life?  How did God release you from that burden?  How did you show your gratitude? 

Hebrews 12:4-17
- How does considering the sufferings of Christ help with our own endurance?
- Is discipline a good thing, or a bad?
- God disciplines us so that we may become His children.  How do you think this takes place?
- What lessons can we learn from being disciplined?
- Why do you think the author of Hebrews uses Esau as an example?  Did Esau ever have a chance to regain his birthright?  Are we guaranteed a chance to repentance?
