THE COUSINS

What are the similarities between extended family members? What traditions span families? What were the best times you experienced with “the cousins”?

LESSON V
THE BETTER HALF
“Abraham and Sarah”
How has marriage or singlehood shaped who you have become? Would you make the same choices again? How is marriage different today than when you married? How is being single different today than fifty years ago?

LESSON VI
SPARE THE ROD
“David and Absalom”

LESSON VII
WAITING TABLES
“King Saul”

When have you had those times when you knew you were in total harmony with your work? How did that work use your gifts and talents? What is your legacy?

LESSON IX
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
“The New Testament Church”
How have you felt the support of community—in your neighborhood, your church, your town or city? When have other picked up the slack when you were unable to? How have you been shaped by the places you have lived? How have you been shaped by the history that occurred in your lifetime?

LESSON X
WHO HAVE I BECOME?
“Formed by God, Psalm 139”
