Groups Discussion Guide

Shine In Our City

BIG IDEA:
Jesus calls us to shine the light by sharing our lives.
TEACHING POINTS:

Why does God allow bad things to happen?
The disciples make the blind man an object of discussion rather than an object of compassion.
The difference between Jesus and the disciples is they only want to talk about it, and He wants to do something about it.
Let’s start shining, by talking less and doing more.
