Use the questions and ideas below to guide your reflection and
conversation on this month's topic.
"Faith reflections" discussion
questions by Christa von Zychlin
1. Do you agree that "different" often spells "lonely" in human society?
Can you give some examples of people who are different but who are
well-liked and have healthy friendships?
2. Jesus turned water into wine and so helped
rescue his friend’s wedding from disaster. What is the biggest
practical miracle a friend has ever done for you?
3. Would you consider either or both of your
parents to be your friends? Was there a certain age when that
transition took place?
4. Can friendships survive sexual tension? Do
you have what you consider to be a healthy nonsexual friendship with
someone you find physically attractive?
5. You may be familiar with such hymns as
“What a friend we have in Jesus” or “Borning Cry,” or even one that
most pastors I know love to hate: “In the Garden.” (If you have a
church-going grandmother or older friend, ask her if she knows it
and if she likes it.) Do you think of God as your friend? How is
that helpful or not helpful in your spiritual walk? Is it easy to
think of Jesus as being a BFFE? How about the Holy Spirit?
Do you have something you
would like to add to the conversation? Go to
Coffee talk and share your
comments.
