SESSION 3

Chapter 4 When Fishermen Don’t Fish

1. Compassion means to feel deep sorrow for a person who suffers misfortune and to desire to alleviate the suffering. Matthew 14:14 says that Jesus had compassion on the people, so he changed his agenda from that of quiet rest to offering healing for body and soul.

Has anyone ever shown this depth of compassion for you? If so, what was it like to be blessed by the compassion of another person?

When have you felt compassion for another person or group of people? What action did compassion prompt you to take?

2. When has God brought hurting people into your world to break the solitude and press you into service? Explain how you did or did not find perspective when that occurred. Describe the balance between service and solitude that fosters a godly perspective in your life.

3. Read Mark 6:7–12, 30, 31. The disciples flourished when they went fishing, didn’t they? They were so excited that the pressing crowd didn’t dim their enthusiasm.

When do you flourish? What “miracles” do you do in Jesus’ name that get you so excited that crowds don’t bother you and you forget to eat?

4. Jesus’ words in Luke 6:41–42 illustrate what happens when people stop fishing and flourishing and start fighting.

In practical terms, what steps can you take to focus more of your energy on fishing and flourishing? In what ways do you tend to complain about your friends’ stinky socks in the camper?
