As we get older, we realize more and more the hopes, relationships, and lives we wanted are impossible. We decide it’s time to “live in the real world” and we stop dreaming and hoping. But what if the impossible was actually possible? There was once a man who did impossible things and made impossible promises. And he still offers to do the impossible for us today.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- What personally stood out to you in this message and/or passage? Why do you think that is?
- Jon said, “Sometimes it’s easier to accept that God is ABLE to do the impossible than that he is WILLING.” Do you agree or disagree, why? How do you think Romans 8:31-32 helps with this idea?
- If Jesus were to say to you, “I am willing,” what impossible thing would you ask him to do? How can your group pray for you in this?
