In 1996, Disney created a fairytale-come-true in the town of Celebration, Florida. But its citizens quickly found out all is not what it seemed. Tune in this episode to learn how what Jesus said about human sinfulness goes much deeper than we'd like to admit. // 1. List some crimes people commit. Underneath each crime, list a “root” issue or sin that might cause someone to commit that crime. For example, under “murder” you might write “anger” or “hatred.” What are the common heart-motives for why people do bad things? // 2. Create a definition for sin. Look up a few verses together to shape your definition: James 1:14-15, James 4:17, Genesis 4:7, Romans 6:23 // 3. Read Mark 7:6-8. What is Jesus telling the Pharisees they’re doing wrong? How do we sometimes do this as Christians? How can we make sure that we don’t fall into this same rut that the Pharisees did? // 4. Ultimately, how does God fix our sin-sick hearts? Read Titus 3:3-7. Focus on words like “washing... rebirth... renewal” in v.5. Are we saved by following rules and doing good stuff, or something better? How should we praise God for this truth?
