Lesson 6 (July 30-Aug 5), Jesus Mingled With People

Christ's Method Alone
  1. Why did the Jews not mingle more with their neighbours? Had given them any instruction that they understood or misunderstood?
  2. Was Jesus interested solely in the salvation of people or did He treasure friendships for any other reason?
  3. What will be the response of church leaders when members mingle with people of questionable characters? How can possible criticism be handled?
Lost and Found
  1. Can lost people be found without mingling with them?
  2. Why do people get lost inside the church?
  3. Can we blame the shepherd if sheep get lost on the way?
  4. Had the father neglected the prodigal's older brother?
Eating with Sinners
  1. Should we wait to be invited by sinners or should we be inviting them home? Did Jesus ever invite people for meals?
  2. Why are people reluctant to invite others to their home for meals? How can one overcome such reluctance?
  3. Is Sabbath a good day to invite people for meals or is it making too much work for the host?
Mingling Wisely
  1. Did Lot make a mistake in choosing to settle in Sodom? How successful was their decision?
  2. Why did Israel keep falling into idolatry when they mingled with non-Israelites?
  3. Should more Adventists be studying in non-Adventist institutions? 
In the Midst of a Crooked Generation
  1. Is there any community that we should avoid because they are too bad?
  2. Can we be lost because we failed to witness? 
  3. Has the Adventist church wasted too much energy and resources on internal issues which could have been used in witnessing?
