Study the Word...As A Family
If you have K-5 kids, go through their hand out as a family. Here are some suggested
family discussion points:
1. Talk about your family’s story. List some of the significant events that have occurred
in your family’s life. Discuss how Jesus’ work changes how you tell these stories.

Practical Applications of This Message, This Week
1. This week, pray and ask God to help you see and tell your story differently than before.
2. On a sheet of paper, write five significant events from your life. Ask Jesus to transform
how you talk about these events. Also pray that others will see the hope that their
stories can change too.

Reflective Questions
Job 2:3, Job 42:1-6, Joshua 2 NIV
1. Think of the most significant events of your life. Do they define who you are? Why or
why not?
2. Think about how you tell these stories. Has Jesus transformed how you tell them? If so,
how?
3. Read Joshua 2. Rahab was a prostitute. How did God change her story?
4. Small Group: Discuss why we tend to allow our stories to define us rather than allowing Jesus to define them.
5. Small Group: Discuss how Jesus has transformed your perspective on the events of
your life.

he went along, he saw a man blind
from birth. 2 His disciples asked him,
“Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that
he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said
Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of
God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is
day, we must do the works of him who sent me.
Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While
I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
