3) Simon Peter and Andrew were in a tough position, what do you think about how they handled it?

The Chosen Discussion Questions:
1) Is it strange for you to think of Jesus as personable?
2) What does it say to you that Jesus so intentionally made time for children? What about the amount of time that he spent with them?
3) “Adults need the faith of children.” How can we intentionally make space for this in our faith and life?
4) It was easy for Abigail to tell her friends about Jesus- how easy is it for you?
4- The Chosen Episode Four:
The Rock on Which it is Built
Read for Bible Study The Chosen Season 1 Episode 4:
John 1:19-28 (John the Baptist is questioned by Pharisees), John 21 (Miraculous Catch), Luke 5:1-11 (Jesus calls the fisherman)
The Chosen Discussion Questions:
1) Jesus provided for Simon’s physical need- but the miracle was more than that. He changed Simon’s mindset, called him to something more! Not to riches, but to spreading the good news for the sake of others souls. What soul work have we been called to?
2) John the Baptist was considered a heretic, and crazy. If the religious leaders of Jesus’ day were constantly missing the point- is it possible that we are missing some of the main points in our evangelical Christian culture? 3) Share a moment in your life where the miracle of the fished has metaphorically happened for you. When you’ve thought there was absolutely no way that something would work, but God made it happen.
4) Sometimes we forget how intense the teachings of Jesus were. His parables and teachings were not sanitized, feel-good messages. What do you think the impact of this miracle would have meant in the context of Jesus’ time?
