The Vineyard- February 17, 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 5:12-16
- How does the leper approach Jesus?  Do we ever show this kind of humility when approaching God?
- Jesus deliberately touches a leper that everyone else went out of their way to avoid.  Has God ever touched you when you felt alone?  Have you ever been able to extend a touch of kindness to someone forgotten or ostracized?  If so, how did that make you feel? 
- What does Jesus tell the leper to do after he is cleansed?


Hebrews 11:32-40
- Does the author of Hebrews list anyone in this passage who you are not familiar with?  Which person’s story jumps out at you?
- The author implies that the list could go on and on.  Who from the Bible would you include on this list, who isn’t already on it?  Who from your life would you place on this list?
- What does it say these people of faith accomplished because of their faith?
- What does it say of these people in v. 38?
