Family Discipleship January Week 1

This weeks memory verse is: 
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
 (John 15:5)

Here are a few questions for your family to discuss this week based on the teaching your kids received in class on Sunday. Space these questions out throughout the week and find natural times to bring them up. Use these questions to spark conversation over dinner or on a car ride.

Question One: Spend some time talking about the work involved in planting a garden or growing any sort of plant.

Question Two: What kinds of stories did Jesus tell? Why did he use parables to teach?

Question Three: In the parable of the sons, where was the seed thrown? What did Jesus say the seed represented?

Question Four: What happened to the different seeds that were thrown in the parable?
 
Question Five: The seed that was thrown onto the good soil had much different results. What were those results, and what can we learn from that about how the gospel can take root in us?
