DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. What types of interruptions frustrate you the most? Why do you think this is so?

2. Take a look at some of the interruptions that Jesus dealt with. (Mark 10:46-52, Mark 2:1-5, Mark 5:21-34) What was Jesus’ response to these individuals?

3. What kind of impact did Jesus’ response have for those people? How could his response have changed their lives?

4. How could viewing our interruptions as an invitation from God to impact someone else’s life change how we react to those little interruptions that come our way? What are some practical steps we can take to do this?

5. Take the challenge: Invite one neighbor over and host them at least one time during this series. Be ready to share your time spontaneously by keeping a flexible schedule or margin in your life.
