Young & Chosen Bible Study: Recap Faith, Prayer & Jesus

YNC: ⁠3 John + Mark 2⁠ (Jesus heals a paralyzed man)

3 John (Jesus heals a paralyzed man) + Mark 2 [https://www.canva.com/design/DAHGs8_Jh-Q/IC6AjE6SD4h_6gFnsYpYlg/edit] Welcommee this episode is For My Best!! Here are some reflective questions: What does your friend group say about you? How supportive or destructive are they truly? * Be Hospitality and supportive for traveling teachers ( 5–8): encourage welcoming, providing for itinerant teachers and ministers. * Warning about false teachers and divisive leaders (3 John 9–10): identify and call out ungodly or prideful leaders who refuse help and exclude others. * Distinguish good vs. evil by God’s standards, not personal opinion; fruit of actions reveals spiritual alignment (3 John 11). * Value of face-to-face fellowship over only digital communication (3 John 13–15). Analogy + comparison * Sheep vs. goat: sheep follow the shepherd (trust and unity), goats act independently and cause division — self-examination of whether one follows Christ or rebellion/worldly impulses. (Mark 2:1-12)  Story of friends lowering the paralyzed man through the roof to Jesus: importance of godly friends who bring others to Christ; faith of friends leads to healing and forgiveness. * Bonus: Philemon story: forgiveness and using authority for restoration rather than abuse (Onesimus example). Goals + Takeaways * Build and maintain a godly community: friends and church should encourage spiritual growth, accountability, and mutual support. * Be hospitable and generous to those serving the gospel; practical care matters. * Recognize and confront ungodly leadership or divisive behavior when necessary, protecting the community. * Choose relationships that lead you closer to Jesus; don’t idolize creation or prioritize worldly influence that lead you away from Christ. * We are called to be sheep so let us lean on our shepherd. New Epiphany, Thank you, Jesus! Who is your leader?  What are you prone to following? Based on your fruit (lifestyle) would you say it produces good or evil outcomes?  * Sheep wait and listen to their shepherd depending on them for everything * Defense  * Shelter  * Food  * Goat runs on pride and self-ambition seeking solely on themselves Bonus: Though a group of animals are a flock, not every flock works as a community. As children of God we have to learn to share the title and workload under Christ (Letting Jesus lead and be our shepherd). Learn to share a name and space like sheep leaning on our shepherd unlike the goats who lead the goatherd and fend for themselves.   So the question is are you a sheep or goat? Is God your shepherd or goatherd?
