High School Sunday School Class Notes for Oct. 9

Crossroads Bible Church Student Ministry
Discussion Questions & Notes
Sunday School Class: October 9, 2011.

Review: Communitas = Loving each other in a more profound way. A deeper form of community. Starts with the resurrection (1 Cor. 15). Connection of love and “feeding sheep.” (Jn. 21) First step: “attitude” of emptying yourself. (Phil. 1&2). The adventure of following (John 1 & Luke 5). We saw that the Kingdom viewpoint would unify the community, and last week we saw how Jesus taught on WHO would be in the Kingdom, notably “Gentiles.”

Discussion: If you join an extracurricular activity, what are the “costs” to you personally?

Study: Luke 14: 25--35.

From 14:23, we can see that…

In v. 25, WHO is there and WHERE are they headed? (context helps)

In v. 26, “hate” likely means…

A “disciple” simply means…

Compare & Contrast 9: 23 with this verse and verse 27:
Deny self =

Take up cross daily =

Follow =

WHAT question does Jesus ask in v. 28? WHY do you think he asks it?

There are 3 “costs” to consider from vv. 29—35:

From verse 29, the example of a building is used…

From verse 31, the example of military usage by a king is used…

And from verse 34, the example of salt is used…
