Study Questions - Jesus, the compassionate healer

1. Relate an experience of ‘healing’ in which a church was involved.

2. Do you think people outside the church would consider that the church has a lack of compassion or a lack of ability to be involved in a hurting world?

3. What place does ‘sin’ play in sickness?
Consider Mark 2: 3 – 12
Mark 5: 1 – 13
John 5: 6
John 9: 3

4. How do you feel about ‘moving’ on from someone with whom you have been in a long-term helping relationship?

5. In what ways has a church played a ‘preventative’ role in your well-being?

6. Pray for one another in your study group.
James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.
