Weekly Devotion - Third Week in Lent

Posted on

Third Wednesday in Lent


This year for our weekly Lenten services we will be watching episodes from Season Two of The Chosen where the story of the Beatitudes come to life. 

6:00 pm - Soup Supper in the Fellowship Hall
7:00 pm - Worship, Episode of The Chosen & Small Group Discussion
   Children 12 and under are welcome to watch.

Tonight's episode focuses on the miraculous healing of a demon possessed man and the impact it has on Mary Magdalene and the disciples. We will also be introduced to John the Baptist. We would love to see you but, if you can’t make it, you can watch with family or friends and discuss the questions together.

Click HERE to watch tonight’s episode, episode 5, in case you can’t make it. Parental Warning for children under 12: this episode we see demon possession in a more intense way as well as a fighting scene.

Questions for Discussion

  1. How do you think Simon the Zealot felt after his brother was healed? Why did he want to find Jesus?
  2. What did Simon the Zealot witness that caused him to believe and decide to stay with Jesus? How would you feel if you witnessed the same thing?
  3. Did this episode change your perspective on the miracles that Jesus performed?
  4. Mary lets her past get the best of her and believes she isn’t worthy to stay at the camp and learn from Jesus. How do we keep ourselves, and each other, from feeling this way?
  5. What stuck out to you most from the conversations between John the Baptist and Jesus?

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’ John 1:29
