Boundless Freedom (Part 2) Welcome Ask people to think of a new law/rule that will be in existence in 2050. (This is just for fun, so suggestions can be bizarre rather than serious!)
Feedback from last week Find out who has memorised Galatians 5:1. What did each person do to outwork one of the verses in Galatians?
Word Split your group into up to four smaller groups or pairs. Give each group/pair one of the following Bible passages to read with the same five questions to discuss. Ask each group to appoint a ‘scribe’ to take notes, maybe on a large piece of flipchart paper that can then be shared with the rest of the group. Allow time for this discussion to take place, then bring the whole group back together and ask each small group to share what they have discovered. Group One
Read Mark 5:21–34: Jesus heals a bleeding woman.
Group Two
Read John 4:1–26; 28–30; 39–42: The woman at the well.
Group Three
Read Luke 23: 32–43: Jesus and the two criminals on the cross.
Group Four
Read Luke 19: 1–10: Zacchaeus.
Questions: • Who is the person in the Bible passage who met with Jesus? • What did the person say/do?
