STUDY GROUP QUESTIONS:
1.
According to 1 Corinthian 10, what are
some of the things that were recorded for our example and what does that mean
to you?
2.
We are many members but one loaf of bread,
what does that mean?
3.
Why was the crowd so pleased with Jesus
and so offended the next minute?
4.
When Jesus looks to do a miracle he often
looks for 3 things. A sower, seed and faith. The only one prepared for this was
a little boy. Why do you think none of the men came prepared? What are you
prepared to give Jesus?
5.
Revelation usually starts the unveiling of
the most obvious question that provokes us to search for an answer. If Jesus
were to ask you one question, what would it be?
6.
When the Hebrew people were in the
wilderness God rained down bread called manna. In Hebrew manna literally means
“what is it?” I believe it is possible to enjoy the
benefits of “what is it?” without really fully comprehending what
it is. What is it that you think you
most need or want right now?
7.
When Jesus saw the massive crowd coming
toward him, his first thought was to feed them. What do you think you would
have thought?
8.
According to 1 Corinthians 10, we are one
bread. His bread given to enrich, encourage, and influence the world. What do
you think the church or you in particular might taste like to the world? Sweet,
Bitter, Burnt, Unusual, Hard to digest, plain but nourishing, etc…)
