The Chosen - Episode 5 Discussion Questions 1. Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving? 2. How do you think Jesus’ parents struggled in raising him?... 3. Instead of condemning John, Nicodemus sat down and said, Tell me about your ministry. When was the last time you sat down and talked to someone you might not agree with and simply said Tell me more. 4. What did you think of Eden’s response to Peter’s calling? 5. Just as the servants had to draw the water before they saw the miracle, what are ways you can step out in faith because of God’s promises? 6. Jesus reassures Thomas that while it’s good to ask questions, we won’t always understand the answers, or even get answers. How do you handle this?

The Chosen Episode 4. The Rock on Which it’s Built For Discussion... 1. What quote from this episode was the most meaningful/impactful to you? Why?... 2. Which characters stood out to you the most? Which were most interesting? Most moving? 3. How did the weaving of Peter’s (Simon’s) backstory (all creative license) make you feel about the development of his character? 4. The night on the Sea of Galilee amplified the encounter with Jesus in the morning. Have you ever experienced Jesus coming to you after a ‘dark night’ in your life? Would you share? 5. What more do you learn about Matthew’s character? What do you think about the portrayal of him seeing Jesus at the lake? 6. Andrew met Jesus through John the Baptist and is confident He is the Messiah. What do you think about his longing for Peter to know Jesus? Who is your ‘Peter’? 7. What was the role of John the Baptist? (Luke 1:8-17, Luke 3:1-9) How is this also our role as the church?

Discussion Guide for The Chosen Episode 3: The Children An Excerpt: https://youtu.be/GvOpb1sxx8Q * we will discuss these questions on Wednesday night, but feel free to think about your answers ahead of time, or talk about them with whoever you watched the episode with.... 1. How did Jesus’ treatment of the children impact you? 2. Jesus was both playful and purposeful as He related to the children. What does that say about how God relates to us? 3. In this episode Jesus is seen praying routinely (mealtimes, bedtime) and passionately. What is your prayer life like? How does this portrayal of Jesus’ prayers encourage you? 4. Jesus’ response to some of the children’s questions seemed evasive or incomplete. Why do you think that is? And how does this relate to His responses to our questions? Ex: One child, Joshua, asked Is your father rich? Jesus answered, That is a question for another time. 5. Jesus’ gift reminded Abigail that He did not come only for the wealthy. How does that make you feel about Jesus? What does that mean about how we as His disciples treat people? 6. Why do you think Jesus welcomed these children? How does this help you to understand how much He desires to welcome you? 7. What would it take for you to trust Jesus afresh with the absolute faith of a child?

The Chosen Season 1, Episode 2 Shabbat Discussion Questions... 1. Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving? 2. How has your understanding of the role (and hatred toward) tax collectors been enhanced? 3. How do you feel about the development of Peter’s character? And Andrew’s role? 4. Why was Nicodemus so shocked about the news that Mary Magdalene was seen in her right mind? 5. How did you feel seeing Mary in her right mind, knowing it was her encounter with Jesus that delivered her? 6. Simon (Peter) said to his wife, Eden, I’ve got this. When was a time in your life that you thought you could control your circumstances only to see them spin out of your control? 7. Nicodemus’ history lesson about Antiochus leads to a significant question, Who is responsible for suppressing our worship now? when he sees the priests dining in extravagance. What was going through his mind? How is our worship suppressed or distracted these days? Mary hosts her first Shabbat meal (Sabbath). How did that impact you; seeing her turn to God and be so welcoming to the disciples and Jesus?
