Hey - I Know You!! (April 19 - Chapters 34 thru 37)

Below are the questions that you'll use for your small group discussion. Additionally, we'll be taking some time out of this session to have a "white board" group discussion. I'm looking forward to seeing you!!

• The author uses Genesis 2:18 as a basis of there being human relationships in Heaven. How do you see this scripture relating to that? Do you agree/disagree with the author? Why?
• There are at least two ways in which it is not good for (hu)man to be alone - they are "loneliness" and "self-centeredness". Why is God concerned about either/both of these?
• Of the people you've known on this Earth, who are you looking forward to seeing in Heaven? Why?
• Out of all of the people in history, if they were in Heaven, who is one person you would like to meet and become friends with? Why?
• In Mark 10:29-30, Jesus refers to a "big family" containing brothers, sisters, etc. How has this impacted your life in this present world? How might it impact your life in the world to come?
• What is the eternal purpose of close relationships (like marriage)?
• How has your thinking changed, regarding relationships in eternity, after reading this book?
• What excites you about continuing to pursue and develop relationships in eternity? Likewise, what, if anything, scares you about it?
• What disturbs us about losing people we currently love to eternal seperation from God (hell)? Why?
• How does our perspective differ from God's truth about Hell and what His creation deserves? How does this compare to 2 Peter 3:9?
• The author states, "Not all disagreement is rooted in sin." Explain how you may agree or disagree with this statement.
• What is your thinking about individualism (skills, name, possessions, etc.) compared to a socialistic mindset (everything belongs to everybody, everybody is like everybody else)?

Blessings!!!
