The Loop – Truth

This week we will share a video of The Loop that talks about Truth. 

These are the questions we are going to ask:

– Why do we lie?

– Think about the Jenga game we played today. How does that block tower remind you of truth and trust vs. dishonesty and mistrust?

– Read Philippians 4:12-13.
I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
– How could this verse remind you to be honest in any situation?

-Name a person who you think of as really honest. What does that person do that makes you feel that way? In what ways would you like to be like them?

-Describe a situation where people feel pressured to be dishonest. What could help them to be truthful with love and care instead? And what will you do if you’re tempted to be dishonest this week?

Healing.

This week we are going to talk about healing and we are going to watch a talk by Sister Myriam James. 

These are some of the questions we are going to ask:

– Think of yourself as the beggar in the Chosen scene. If Jesus asks you what is something you want to be healed from

– What is something that stood out to you from the video so far?

– What is an area in your life where you know what you are doing is wrong, and you still do it?
