DISCUSSION

Life App: Compassion—Caring enough to do something about someone else’s need 

Bible Story: Reasons Why (Jesus’ Mission Statement) • Luke 4:14-24, 28-30

Key Question: What is your purpose in life? 

Bottom Line: Following Jesus means caring about others. 

Basic Truth: I am made for a purpose so I have value

Memory Verse: The LORD has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God. Micah 6:8 (NIrV) 

Ask the following questions and lead the group to discuss:    

  • How does Jesus show compassion to you?  
  • What are some things we can do to show compassion to others?   
  • When have you seen someone caring for some else’s needs?  
  • When is it hard to show compassion? 
  • What if you notice someone needs something but you aren’t sure what to do? For example, you notice your friend seems sad but you don’t know why or what to do?
