DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing you found particularly interesting, insightful, helpful or difficult to understand from this Sunday?
  2. Read and discuss Hebrews 11:8-16. What do these verses tell us about us? What do these verses tell us about God?
  3. What’s the difference between a pilgrim and a tourist? What are the parallels of this analogy in the Christian life?
  4. Compare and contrast tourists and pilgrims in these areas: time, money, relationships, suffering, sin. What other areas of life does this apply to?
  5. Discuss Pastor Mike’s definition of joy: Joy is the inner confidence that God’s grace will see me through my earthly pilgrimage. What is the difference between joy and happiness? What gives you joy?
  6. How does the gospel of Jesus Christ compel us toward joy? How does joy sustain us in our journey?
  7. How was Jesus the perfect pilgrim? What does that mean for us?
  8. Is there an area of your life where you’ve left the pilgrimage to become a tourist? Spend some time in prayer together about this.

    “Keep yourself as a pilgrim and a stranger here in this world, as one to whom the world’s business counts but little. Keep your heart free, and always lift it up to God.” — Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
