    • Hospitality
    • Standing for truth
    • Generosity

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Who is one person in your life for whom you are extremely grateful? Does he or she know it?
  2. What tends to be the main reason that you are grateful for someone in your life? Does that reason change depending on the relationship? Explain.
  3. Discuss the concept of having Jesus as your friend. Does that seem weird, awkward, or unrealistic? Or does it seem freeing and safe?
  4. Describe a time when you saw or experienced hospitality or generosity create a safe place for someone who needed it.
  5. Do you regularly pray for your friends? If not, what keeps you from doing it?

NEXT STEP

  • Text, call, e-mail, or just tell someone this afternoon for whom you deeply care for and tell them that you are grateful for him or her!
