We're all well and hoping good things for you as your groups gather this week, discuss, pray and wrestle with the best news in the Universe: God's grace offered to us- all of us- in Jesus Christ.
Use these general discussion makers and pertinent texts to take Sunday's message further. The texts at the bottom are texts used throughout the message, and are good to read aloud, discuss the initial thoughts, wrestle through the implications and even the hang ups- and discover the meaning intended for the original reads, and us today.
What were the key points for you?
What was the "one thing" you took away?
What surprised you?
What bothered you? Why?
Have you ever heard or come across a similar teaching or idea? Have you ever been taught something that was contradictory?
What is/was already part of your thinking on this subject?
What did you learn that was new to you?
*About God?
*About yourself?
*About others?
What changes of thought are necessary in light of what you learned?
What changes of action are needed?
How would life be different if you/we applied this teaching fully?
What are the hindrances, and what do we do about those?
What role can this group lay to help you take steps this week and beyond?
Relevant texts:
Eph 2:8-10
Col 1:21-22
Rom 5:6-11
Rom 2:4
Titus 3:3-7
...and may you dream with your LifeGroup what you all can not only discuss about God's saving grace, but how and where you can go make it happen together. (I can think of one particular, Caribbean locale....but there are other great, local ones too, and don't require a passport. Dream big.)
