Weekly Warm-up:
How many broken bones have you had?
How did this injury affect your daily routine?

Watch Weekly Video: (optional)


Weekly Overview: (skip if video is used)
Every week we hear of another person who has been diagnosed with cancer or some other dire medical condition.  Some people suffer for years with physical conditions that makes their lives difficult.  It is hard to understand why our friends and family must experience sickness. 

During His ministry on earth, Jesus healed many people with broken bodies.  Jesus teaches us that it is not always about our weakness but about what God can do through our brokenness.  Jesus had great compassion for the suffering of the sick but His true calling was the healing of their broken souls.

Weekly Discussion Questions: (Italicized questions come from daily devotional)

Read John 5:1-15
Why do you think Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be healed?
What do you think the healed man was doing when Jesus found him at the temple?

Read John 11:21-27
What was Jesus trying to explain in his conversation with Martha?
How do we know God still cares even when healing doesn’t come?

Read Luke 22:14-20
Why must we remind ourselves of the broken body of Jesus?
How can Jesus understand the brokenness that you and others feel?

Read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
How does weakness strengthen us?
Why do you think God chose not to heal Paul of the torn in his flesh?


Prayer:
Pray for those with broken bodies.

Pray for those with broken souls.
