This week's questions:-The exclusion of the leper seems to be primarily religious (I.e., uncleanliness) rather than medical. Why wasn’t health the focus?This healing is also recorded in Mark and Luke. Why is each account a little different?Why would Jesus tell the man not to tell anyone what had happened to him? Would that even be possible?

Jesus was travelling to gentiles. Is Luke 8:22-25 foreshadowing/preparing for when they reach the other side? Including comparing verses 25 and 39, saying Jesus is God. There are unexpected situations where we find Jesus - in the calmed storm - and Jesus does unexpected things. What are those unexpected things he does?Unexpected suffering can wash our faith overboard or strengthen it. How do we prepare ourselves to face storms and mature?

John 3:5 If we do not need to be baptised to enter heaven (eg Criminal on cross) what does Jesus mean by “born of water” to enter kingdom of God?Jesus teaches the Spirit is “like the wind”, doing what it likes in regards to people being born again. How do we reconcile this with fallen man and his will?Nicodemus was a religious seeker. Does Jesus encounter non-religious seekers?

Making disciples is business as usual for the church. But what are we not doing? Or perhaps more interestingly, what should we stop doing that we are doing?We can encounter Jesus in different ways from reading the Bible to miraculous events. How can we navigate the mess of disciple making when it's so vast.To what extent would you say Christ is present in communion?

We often read to be prepared to give an answer, but can you say more to do with gentleness and respect. How is this how Jesus wants us to speak to others about him?Verse 9 says don’t repay evil but verse 12 says the Lord is against evildoers. So, we can’t turn our back on God’s will or we will receive punishment, but can God do it to us?When is it reasonable not to call out someone’s sin?

This week's questions:1 How does the parable's implication that we can lose our forgiveness if we don't forgive well, fit with the sufficiency of the cross?2. If the perpetrator has no interest in being forgiven, does Christian teaching allow for forgiveness to be a silent, internal act rather than a spoken one?3. Is the saying “Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die” compatible with Christian teaching on forgiveness?
