DISCUSSION OF WEEK 5 - JESUS

INTRODUCTION
We’re going through a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions and come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

This week, we’re discussing the readings, videos, and message from Week 5 titled “Jesus.”

REVIEW & DISCUSS

1. Did you complete all readings? All the videos?
2. What stood out to you from last week’s readings and videos? Any favorites or most interesting?
3. Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. What is this kingdom and how is it unlike the kingdoms of this world?
4. What role does Jesus play in God’s vision of restoring Eden on Earth?
5. How were the Israelites expecting the Messiah to deliver them?
6. How did Jesus’ sufferings challenge their expectations?
7. How does Jesus’ act of sacrificial love for his enemies in the crucifixion enthrone him as the King of God’s people and God’s kingdom?
8. How would you explain why Jesus should put our faith in him?

TAKEAWAY

1. Consider our community. What needs to be turned upside-down to look more like God’s Kingdom?
   
2. How does Jesus’ suffering challenge your own expectations of God’s promises?
   
3. How has Jesus conquered sin in your life?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.
