Before each session, the facilitators and I meet to review the material and generate questions. There are always far more questions than time. So here is the full list of questions for Food: Eating with Jesus.
1. What was your last great meal? What did you eat? Who were you eating with? What made it memorable?
2. What value was placed upon food in your family? What rules or norms accompanied meals and/or food?
3. When have you experienced food as a barrier to relationships? When has food helped you build relationships?
4. Has there ever been a time when you were hungry or under nourished? How did that feel? How did it feel to overcome your hunger?
5. What is the role of food in your life?
6. Sara Miles says, "Jesus provides the only meal that can’t be bought and can’t be eaten alone." What does this mean for you?
7. How many of you thought the video was about food as sustenance for life or about the quality of food (organic versus not organic)? What if food was a metaphor for something else? (ie, Lord’s Prayer, the bread of life, etc).
8. Does food bring you closer to God?
9. Pay attention to the food rules and messages about food this week. Bring your observations back next week to share with your group.
10. What role does food play at Central Union? What kinds of foods do we eat? What unspoken expectations or customs do we have around meals at church?
11. Food provides a means of sharing God’s love – God’s life – to everyone. How can you use food or a meal time to share God’s love this week? Reflecting on food as a way to bless, include, and build relationships, how might you do a meal differently this week?
12. How might you share a meal this week with someone you don’t typically eat with? If no ideas come to mind then this might be a place for prayer. Ask God to place someone on your mind and heart to share a meal with.
