Discussion 

We all have various issues or experiences that have happened to us that we either regret or would rather forget. During this session we will focus on how people judge others. As you listen to this song, what does it tell you about the artist’s friends? What are some of the things the song asks the listener to do?

 

Read Mark 2:13-17

Where do we find Jesus? (v 13)

What are some things we learn about this person?

What does Jesus end up asking this person?

What are some things this person does? (v 14-15)

Who else was there? (v 15)

Who are some people like that in your own life?

Who are some of the people who noticed this? (v. 16)

How do they respond? 

How quickly does Jesus respond? (v. 17)

What does He say?

How would you tell someone this same thing today?

 

Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Who is being talked about in verse 9?

What will they miss out on? Why?

What are some of the issues mentioned? (v. 9-10)

What might that look like today?

There are always people who have issues. Some might be better than you. Some may be worse than you. Ultimately, God loves both and offers both a great option of what to do in life. How might this affect the way you see others? How might this affect how you deal with others?
