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 Service: The Needs Right in Front of You.
1. When have you felt like a “real” Christian? In other
words, when did it feel like it all came together and you were doing just what God was calling you to do?
2. What makes someone a “faithful” Christian? OR Think of someone you know that you would call a faithful Christian, what about that person makes you think of them in that way?
3. In the video Enuma Okoro said, “If I didn’t have a cross to bear or some real discomfort, how could I be a genuine Christian?” Have you ever felt this way? Where do you think ideas like this come from?
4. In the video Enuma Okoro says that the church is not limited to a building but that “the church is found wherever we practice serving God by using our hands and feet to bring a fraction more of healing to the broken lives and places in our world.” What about this definition of church speaks to you? What about this definition of the church does not resonate for you?
5. In the video Enuma Okoro says that, “…service is rooted in seeing.” What does this phrase mean to you?
6. Talk about the assumptions and labels we use to talk about neighborhoods and towns of O’ahu. What are the “bad” parts? Who are the needy people? What areas seem to show up a lot in the news?
7. It is easy to often associate “need” with “crisis”. When we talk about people in need what images come to mind? What needs often go unnoticed?
8. When was a time you’ve felt in need? What helped you get through that time?
9. Much like sharing, serving is rooted in relationship and motivated by love. What relationships have been on your mind and heart lately?
10. Have you ever been on a mission trip? What was that experience like for you?
11. How have acts of service have felt meaningful in your life?
