DISCUSSION GUIDE: November 10 – Justin Gill
“Post Election Tension”
LIFE: What is your pet motivated by?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read 1 John 2:9-11.
- Why is hatred incompatible with Jesus?
- Name a time when something you felt passionate about blinded you to what’s most important.
- How do we be slow to anger like it says in Proverbs 19:11?
- Read Luke 6:32-36.
- The verses in Luke tell us to love others, even our enemies. How hard is that? Share a time when you saw this play out well.
- Are the people with whom you are experiencing conflict currently really your enemies?
- Pastor Justin made the statement, “We chase what motivates us.” What motivates you? Is it money, popularity, praise, politics, being right, or something else?
- What if we were motivated by Jesus first? How would that change our interactions?
MAKE DISCIPLES: How can you help heal relationships that may have been hurt recently?
