- Romans 8:18-25
Questions:
- What kinds of things do we see in our daily lives that demonstrate frustrated “fallen-ness”?
- Have you ever seen something really broken and messed up that was then made truly beautiful and good? What things can be restored, forgiven, or healed? What things can't?
- Have you ever seen students at MVCS fight against the Fall and try to bring what is good , whole, and right? Without using any identifiable names of people, what did that look like? By contrast, what ways do we sometimes try to cover up the “mess” or end up making the mess worse at MVCS?
- What was Mr. Johnson suggesting when he stood on the football? What does that have to do with the fall? What “football” do you think God might want to let some air out of for you? For our school culture? American culture?
- Do you think it’s possible for someone to deny that the world is messed up? Explain why or why not? Do you think it’s possible for someone to deny that all people are messed up? Why or why not?
- It’s one thing to say the world is messed up; it’s another thing to say, “I am messed up.” How hard or easy is it for you to admit your own brokenness? (1-5)
- Why are both of these questions good and fair to ask: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” or “Why do good things happen to bad people?” Explain.
- Monte Vista has a goal for its students to become “world changers?” Do you think your education is inviting and/or preparing you to change the world for good? Explain? How have you actually tried to participate in restoring the world to how it should be? If you haven’t tried, why not?
- Who is the biggest world changer for good you can think of? Who do you think fights against the mess and brokenness as well as anyone you’ve ever seen? What has he or she done that you think really matters? What does it mean that we would call Jesus the “Redeemer”?Top 3 Changes I Should Make in My Life (in your journal)Top 3 Changes We Could Make at MVCS (on the board)
