Opening Question: How do you like to be treated, and why?

Read Luke 14:1-14 as a group, and again by yourselves.

Word list:
Sabbath – last day of the week, the day of rest.
Pharisees – religious leaders.
the Law – Jewish law that said you had to rest on the Sabbath.
feast – party.
disabled – when you can’t do something physically.
blessed – happy.
right with God – in a right relationship with God through faith.
rise from the dead – when people stand before God to receive His judgment.

Discussion questions:
1. What are some observations we can make from these verses?
2. Why do you think the Pharisees were silent, and what do you guess they were thinking?
3. What are some do’s and don’ts, according to Jesus?
4. What does verse 11 mean to you?
5. Are you looking forward to being paid back by God? Why or why not?
