Conversation Starter
What is your perception of how Peter is portrayed in this series so far?

Episode Questions
1. When you have gotten yourself (and / or family) into a desperate situation from not following Christ’s ways, do you tend to eventually seek Him for a miracle or do you feel you must “fix” things first? Can you share a story?

  1. Do you believe God allows adverse circumstances into your life to draw you back to Him? When have you experienced this?

  2. Have you ever cried out to God in anger because you were not seeing His help? Do you think it is “ok” to express your anger and disappointment to God? How do you imagine God responds?

  3. Do you believe miracles happen in modern times? When miracles happen, what part did God play and what part do believers play?

Personal Next Steps
Renew and Refresh – This week read John 1:19-28; John 21; Luke 5:1-11

Self-Check

  • When you have a serious need like Peter did in the episode, and God does not perform a miracle for you, what does that do to your faith?

  • Jesus could have told Peter he had to get himself out of his own jam; after all, Peter’s troubles were brought on by himself. How does Jesus’ rescuing Peter from his bad choices shape how you see Jesus helping you?

Continuing the Conversation – Matthew’s faith and John the Baptizer’s faith is stirred by Jesus’ miracle. Is there someone you know whose faith would be stirred if they heard about God doing something miraculous in your life?

Pray – Thank Jesus for His “no strings attached” help and compassion on you as His follower.
