Father Forgive Them

BIG IDEA:
Jesus offers forgiveness.
TEACHING POINTS:

    1. Jesus leads with grace and follows with truth.
    2. Jesus wants us to confess our sin and receive God’s forgiveness.
    SCRIPTURE: Luke 23:33-34 NIV
    OPENING QUESTIONS:
    1. Did you take the 90-Day Heart Challenge and how did it go?
    2. What is one thing that you are thankful for from last week?
    3. What is something that was stressful or difficult this week and how can we help?

    IN THE WORD:
    1. Read the crucifixion story from Luke 23:26-49 NIV.
    2. Have two people in the group retell the story with emphasis to the forgiveness words of Jesus (Luke 23:33 NIV).
    3. What is the meaning of Jesus’ words, “…for they know not what they do.”?
    4. What does this teaching tell us about God?
    5. What does this teaching tell us about people?

    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
    1. Who is someone that you’ve forgiven in your life and how did that happen, or who is someone you need to forgive?
    2. How can we pray for you and for each other as we take the generosity challenge for the next 90 days?
    MAKING IT PERSONAL:

    On April 23, Pathway Church will be hosting an opportunity for people to come and package food that will be sent to refugee camps and an orphanage in Eastern Europe, where Ukrainians displaced by the war are staying. You can do this as a group and register to help at pathwaychurch.com/ukraine. Who could you invite that you are walking alongside to join you in packaging food?
