READ -  Isaiah 9:4-7

Discuss what you believe each name for God means?

What does each name mean to you?

The scripture refers to the coming of Messiah and His role as King, Counselor, Father, etc.

As believers, we know that Jesus is our Messiah, King, Lord, and Savior.  What does that mean to you personally?

Definition of Lord -  Greek - Kyrios - meaning- master, belonging to the Lord

Discuss what the word Lord means to you -  

    Is Jesus the Lord of your life?  Does He rule over all your life?  How good are you with following the rules?

    Do you struggle with authority?  On what level?

    How do you cope with authority from:  Leaders, Parents, Leaders in the church?

READ Luke 7: 1-10

Discuss

    What do you know about the centurion?  

    What do you know about the slave?

    Why was this story so important for understanding the role of Jew and Gentile in the region?

    Who communicated this message to Jesus and why?

    Why do you believe that the centurion considered himself unworthy?

The centurion explained his position of authority.  Why did Jesus marvel at his faith because of what he said?

Being a Roman soldier, what would have been his cost for speaking with Jesus and his faith and trust in who Jesus was and what he said?
