40 Days - Week 5
Understanding the Meaning of a Text
Family Discussion guide
Questions:
- Have you ever misunderstood something someone said? What happened when you figured out what they really meant?
- Why does it matter what a Bible verse actually means before we try to apply it?
- What does reading in context mean, and why does it help?
- Is there a verse you've heard a lot but never really thought about what it actually means?
- How can we as a family slow down a little more when we read the Bible together?
Try It Together: Read John 15:5 together. What does "remain" mean? What kind of fruit do you think Jesus is talking about? What does it feel like to be connected to Jesus versus disconnected? Then let everyone answer: what's one way you can stay connected to Jesus this week? Keep it simple.
