What do you want me to do for you?

Study Guide

The following may help you reflect further on the message
(the points could also be used as a discussion guide at fellowship groups)

1. Why do you think the disciples found it hard to listen to Jesus?
2. What things that Jesus said do we find it hard to pay attention to?
3. How do you think the disciples felt about James and John? What might have motivated their question? Is it a motivation that we sometimes have?
4. In what ways can we be servants and slaves to one another? What does this look like in 21st Century England?
5. How would you contrast the approach of the crowds to Bartimaeus and the approach of Jesus to him? Where do the disciples figure in this situation?
6. What question would you like to ask Jesus? What do you think he would say to you?
