On Repeat :: Jesus shows us caring is worth repeating.

Written By Matthew Mauk

One of the ways we can show our friends we care about them is by making a custom playlist for them. This week, we'll hear a story about how Jesus helped care for someone he met while traveling. Jesus took care of this man's needs in a way that only he could, and by doing so, Jesus shows us that caring is worth repeating..

BIBLE: Mark 1:40–45; Psalm 146:6–10; Romans 13:8

    • What song do you find annoying? What about it annoys you?

    • Have you ever had someone show up for you when you needed help? What did they do for you?

    • If you had been in the crowd and saw Jesus touch the man with leprosy, how would you would have responded?

    • Why do you think Jesus made an effort not just physically to heal people but to restore them to relationships and community?

    • Read Romans 13:8. How do you think living like you owe people an ongoing debt of care or kindness can change the way you see others and your responsibility towards them?

    • What's one way you will care for others like Jesus did this week?

    • What song do you find annoying? What about it annoys you?

    • Have you ever had someone show up for you when you needed help? What did they do for you?

    • Has there been a time you wanted to do something for someone else but didn't know how to help? What happened?

    • Suppose had been in the shoes of the man who had leprosy. What would you have felt as a result of Jesus not just healing you but touching you?

    • If you had been in the crowd and saw Jesus touch the man with leprosy, how would you would have responded?

    • Why do you think Jesus made an effort not just physically to heal people but to restore them to relationships and community?

    • What do you think is the biggest barrier keeping you from noticing and acting on the needs of others? What would it look like to overcome that barrier?

    • How do you think not just seeing the need but feeling the need someone else has can help you care for them?

    • Read Romans 13:8. How do you think living like you owe people an ongoing debt of care or kindness can change the way you see others and your responsibility towards them?

    • What's one way you will care for others like Jesus did this week?
