As a Christian church, we exist to honour God by helping local
people worship God, grow spiritually, serve others, and reach
their communities and the world with the message and love of
Jesus Christ.

Discussion Starters
- Did your marriage turn out the way you expected it to? What was different?
- How did life change for Peter's wife after he left to follow Jesus? Would you have been understanding of your spouse to make such a change?
- How were family dynamics different in Jesus' day? What is unusual about Peter's mother-in-law living in his house?
- What reasons did Peter have for bringing Jesus to his home after the meeting in the synagogue?
- After the sun goes down Peter's house gets swamped with people. Why after sunset and why did they come?
- Jesus awakens early and goes into the “wilderness” to pray. What is interesting about the word “wilderness” and what are its implications for us?
- What are the implications to the healing Jesus did at Peter's house and in the synagogue?
- What is Jesus' primary concern when He meets people? What should our primary concern be?
- For Christians and the church, the word “change” is frightening. Why is that? Can we ever be content remaining where we are in our faith journey?
- What happened to Peter's wife? Why is that significant?
