Discussion Questions for Welcome to Wonderland Week 3

We all wonder. When we fix our eyes somewhere other than on God, wonder leads to wander. If you’ve wandered from the faith or are looking for the door, it’s not because of Jesus. It’s probably because you’ve fixed your eyes on people, institutions, or a religion based on following rules. You may think Christianity requires mind-numbing experience-denying faith, but what if that’s not true? 

1. How would you define “the word faith”?

2. Read Hebrews 11:1–2. How does the faith described in these verses differ from your definition? How is it similar?

3. Have you ever treated faith as a magical force you tap into or a formula you figure out? If so, what happened?

4. During the message, Jon said, “God has provided us with enough evidence to believe while our minds catch up with the wonder of his complex and majestically orchestrated world.” How effectively does that address your areas of wonder? Is that a satisfying way to think about your doubt, or do you find it challenging? Why?

5. Read John 1:4–5. Is it difficult for you to believe that Jesus’ light can overcome the darkness in the world around you? Why or why not?

6. What is one thing you can do this week to fix your eyes on Jesus and find his light in the darkness? How can this group support you?
