The Jugglers Puzzle

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhkzgjOKeLs&Topic: OmniscienceBible: Matthew 10:30

Discussion starter:

Think about all of the complexities and skill that go into juggling two Rubik’s cubes with one hand and solving a Rubik’s cube with the other. Motor skills like balance, catching, tossing, and flipping. On top of that there are the problem solving skills of solving the puzzle.When we see things like that we get a glimpse of how amazing humans are. Videos like this give you a glimpse of the complex tasks that humans can master.The Rubik’s cube trick is tough for a human. But it’s nothing compared to all of the complexities God juggles at once.

The earth’s population will reach  7 billion people today. Jesus says in Matthew 10, “And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” It’s unfathomable how God knows the current status of every star while also knowing the current status of every hair on every head in the world. Go ahead, pull one out right now. God just subtracted that from His count while making sure that the tide is balanced perfectly.

Three questions:

  1. What is the most complex thing you have ever done?
  2. Which super hero superpower would you rather possess, invisibility or flying?
  3. Have you ever wondered how God knows every thought, choice, and action of 7 billion people at the same time?

Chew on this: 

If God already knows everything you are thinking than why does He care so much about our choices?

Apparently, you can do anything on the freeway in Russia. Who knows how they came up with this idea but it sure is awesome.In some ways this video is a picture of a life spent following Jesus. Everyone around you thinks you are losing your mind while you have the time of your life. People point fingers and make fun of you, but you’re living the life they secretly dreamed they could live.You stand in good company. Throughout the ages Christian men and women have been accused of losing their minds. Even on the day the church really began, the Day of Pentecost, some people pointed at Christ followers and said, “They must be drunk!”
Three Questions:

  • In the video, would you rather be playing the drums or driving the motorcycle?
  • What was a time where everyone thought you were doing something dumb, but you were having a good time?
  • Have you ever been laughed at or mocked for your faith? How did that make you feel?

Wrestle with this: 

In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul says that Christians are “fools for Christ.” If people who don’t know Jesus look at us as foolish, how are we to be taken seriously?
