Before the Session

• Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
• Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
• Encourage your group to listen to the FaithElement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media).

Context

Share the “Bruce Almighty Gangster Scene…” video (Note, video begins after some objectionable content.) and ask:

• If all you had to go on was this clip, how would you say Bruce’s life is going, and why?
• How do you feel about the message on the sign at the end of the clip, given the context?
• Given how things ended, how do you feel about Bruce’s decision to intervene on someone else’s behalf, when he was already having a hard time?
• In what ways does our attitude affect the way we approach other people’s problems?
• When has someone helped you out with something, despite whatever problems they might have been having?
• How does faith affect our decision as to what “the right thing” is?
