The Chosen Discussion – Richard Sutton
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class opened with praise for the young worship leaders and quickly shifted to a character‑focused discussion of The Chosen series. The teacher reminded the group that the show is not a verse‑by‑verse study but a lens on the lives of people Jesus chose—Nicodemus, Matthew, Moses, Joshua, and others—encouraging participants to examine whether they reflect the faith, doubts, or obedience of these biblical figures. The conversation explored the tension between a world that feels both predictable (seasons, taxes, natural laws) and unpredictable (illness, disasters, the timing of Christ’s return). Using Scripture such as the bronze serpent (Numbers 21), the water‑from‑the‑rock at Meribah (Numbers 20), and the Red Sea crossing (Exodus 14), the teacher illustrated how God often acts beyond human explanation, calling believers to trust like Moses did when he ceased questioning God’s command. The class concluded by reinforcing that today’s believers are the “chosen people of God,” called to live out faith that can bridge cultural gaps and invite friends to Christ, echoing the series’ purpose of sharing the gospel in relatable ways.
