4/9

1. Jesus outlines a good way to deal with conflict in Matthew 18 which starts by talking with the person about what he or she did to offend you. What are some problems that have resulted because people do not always follow this way to deal with conflict?

2. Jesus said that someone who wants to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven must become like a little child. What does it look like when someone who follows Jesus becomes like a little child? How does that person talk and act?

3. Jesus said that it was difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven, that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Why do you think it is hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of heaven?

7th Religion - Matthew 16 & 17 discussion questions due Thursday (4/4)

1. Jesus was concerned about the teachings of the Pharisees, that if the disciples followed their advice they would get in trouble. What advice have you followed that got you in trouble?

2. In chapters 16 and 17 we read that Jesus clearly told His disciples that he was going to be tortured, crucified, and killed. If Jesus said all of this was going to happen, why do you think the disciples were so surprised that Jesus actually died on the cross?

3. On the mount of transfiguration, the disciples caught a glimpse of God's glory and Jesus shone like the sun in bright white clothes. Sometimes people catch a glimpse of God's glory in a different way. When have you caught a glimpse of God's glory?
