These questions will help prepare you for your Small Group session this week - so bring your answers with you to your Small Group meeting.
Relate:
Share of a time when you went outside your comfort zone to reach out to somebody from a difficult background.
Reflect:
Consider how a tax collector was viewed by Jewish society at the time of Jesus. What would be a modern-day
equivalent of this despised individual?
Levi’s decision to abandon his tax booth meant permanently leaving his job to follow Rabbi Jesus. What does Levi’s
choice show about discipleship?

Small Group Home Work: The Saviour Calling Sinners
Why were the Pharisees so deeply offended by the actions of Jesus and His disciples described in v.29?
What must the Pharisees have believed (about God, sin, righteousness) that made them consider it wrong to eat
with sinners?
How is the medical illustration significant in the context of the Chapter 5?
What do Jesus’ words to the Pharisees reveal about His mission?
Response:
Has this study in any way changed your understanding of Jesus’ character and identity?
What often stands in the way of us seeing ourselves for who we really are? Why do we often miss the true diagnosis
of our spiritual malady?
How can you follow Levi’s example (v.29) and Jesus’ example (v.29&31) with regard to sinners around you? How can
you avoid acting toward sinners as the Pharisees did?

Missions Update
The Youth Missions Team is looking forward to serving in Quito Ecuador this summer! They have now
raised half of their fundraising goal of $16,000 which leaves them only $8,000 left to go. Thank you to
everyone who has supported them thus far! We ask that you continue lifting the team up in prayer, that
God would be glorified in the work that they do, that people would come to Christ through their service
and that this trip would draw each and every person going on the trip closer to the Lord. To God be the
glory!
