Unexpected JesusSample

Personal Reflection

1. What has been your experience with Jesus?
2. In what ways do you see a rebellious spirit in yourself when it comes to following God’s direction?
3. What “little kingdoms” have you tried to build in your own life? How do they compare to the kingdom Jesus offers?
4. Jesus invites the least likely people to His table. Have you ever felt unworthy of His invitation? How does His grace change your perspective?

Scripture Engagement

1. Read Matthew 12:18–21. What stands out to you about the way Jesus leads compared to worldly leaders?
2. In Mark 2:16-17, Jesus says He came for those who know they are sinners. How does this challenge the way we see ourselves and others?
