Today we watched a video that talked about the story of the paralytic man being lowered in front of Jesus and instead of Jesus saying, "Pick up your mat and walk" and performing the miracle everyone expected. He said, "Your sins are forgiven." Jesus knew the man's true and immediate needs which is not necessarily what the man saw as his need.

We discussed questions like:
Have you had a time when you have wanted something, but instead got what you needed?
How do we discern our urgent needs vs. our eternal needs?
How does our prayer life change when we focus on our need for forgiveness?
