OPEN IT

 

1.    What are some long-term commitments that you have made that seem to be going well?

 

        2.   What are some short-term decisions you have made in the past that turned out bad?

 

EXPLORING THE TEXT

(1st Half of the Story-Naaman 5:1-19a & the 2nd Half of the Story-Gehazi 5:19b-27)

 

        3.   Why do you think Naaman was so apprehensive about doing what Elisha (& God) asked him to do?

 

4.    How many ways do you see grace factoring in to this story about Naaman?

 

5.    What was Gehazi’s problem?  What do you learn from his story?

 

6.    How do we best balance our short-term decisions with our long-term goals in our Christian walk?

 

PRAYER

 

                  Please pray for our church, house church and each individual @ WFR to be missional in helping others find their life-changing event!
