Discussion Questions
Icebreaker:
What’s the worst meal you’ve ever eaten (food poisoning stories count)?
Discussion Questions:
What does this passage teach about earthly consequences that can affect others due to honest mistakes?
What challenges brought on by broader disobedience or sin does this passage teach us to expect during hard times? What provisions?
What is the significance of the leftovers? Does this passage bring any New Testament passages to mind?
Application Questions:
What “mundane” earthly concerns are you tempted to believe that God doesn’t care about and can’t help? What would it look like for you to pray to Him about those?
Where have you placed limits in your mind in terms of God’s ability to provide? What would it look like for you to pray boldly?
