Bible Study – Luke 8.22-25

Q1 What do you notice about the context of this passage?


Q2 What is the significance of Jesus falling asleep? Do you think he knew there was going to be a storm? Could he have prevented it?


Q3 Do you ever feel like you are ‘drowning’ in troubles and that God is asleep or doesn’t care?


Q4 In what ways was the faith of the disciples lacking? What did they learn from this experience?


Q5 Is it best to have a calm, trouble-free life or to go through lots of difficulties? What difference does Christian faith make?

When trouble comes it matters who is in the boat with you and who is in control…

…With this thought in mind, what do you think are the main causes of stress, anxiety and fear in society (locally and worldwide)?


Q6 Are Christians ‘in the same boat’ as everyone else, or are we separate from the rest?


Q7 How can we develop the ability to be a non-anxious presence in troubled times?


Q8 How can we encourage faith and hope in our neighbours?


Q9 How can we develop greater intimacy with and confidence in God?

Finally, read the passage through again, slowly and meditatively.


Q10 Is there anything you want to resolve to do differently as a result of what you have read?
