Discussion Questions

1. In the teaching, we talked about “chronos” time and “kairos” time. What’s the
   difference, and why does it matter for following Jesus?
   • Application: Where are you tempted to interpret delays as “God forgot,” instead of
     “God is working on a timetable I can’t see”? What would it look like to trust Him with
     your season right now?
2. In Luke 4, what pattern do you see in Satan’s temptations—and how might that
   pattern show up in our lives?
   • Application: What is one “shortcut” you’re tempted to take right now—control,
     compromise, rushing a decision, seeking approval, using power to protect yourself?
     What Scripture truth do you need ready for your next “opportune time”?
3. Why do you think the demons in Matthew 8 feared the “appointed time,” and what
   does that teach us about spiritual warfare and God’s authority?
   • Application: Where do you feel fear or intimidation from darkness—temptation,
     anxiety, oppression, shame? How would your mindset change if you truly believed
     evil is on a leash and God has an “appointed time” for justice?
4. Paul says God’s wisdom was a “mystery” and that the rulers didn’t understand it.
   Why was the cross so hard to comprehend?
   • Application: When you picture “God showing up,” do you expect Him to fix things
     through force, comfort, and quick outcomes—or through transformation, surrender,
     and holiness? What’s one area where you need to let Jesus redefine what “victory”
     looks like?
5. Why is the leper story such a powerful picture of the kingdom—and what does it
   tell us about Jesus?
   • Application: What part of your life feels “untouchable”—shame, hidden sin, grief,
     loneliness, wounds, feeling unworthy? What would it look like to bring that honestly
     to Jesus this week, believing He moves toward you and not away?
