DISCUSSION GUIDE: May 3 – Dr. Ron Aulbach
“Why Karma When You Can Have Grace?”
LIFE: What do you think of the air fryer or air fried food?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Ephesians 2:8
- How does grace set Christianity apart?
- What is wrong with the idea that morality will save us?
- Why does detachment from suffering fail us?
- In Buddhism, people are called to strive for nirvana and simply let go of pain and suffering. As Christ-followers, how can we take our pain and bring it to Jesus?
- What is the difference between grace and karma?
- “Good vibes” comes from eastern religions. Though our intent may not be as deep as that when using that phrase. What could we exchange the phrase good vibes for?
- Have you had interactions with people from any of the Eastern religions? How so?
- What does it look like to surrender to God, and be filled with the Holy Spirit?
- What does it mean to you that God knows you and loves you completely?
MAKE DISCIPLES: What can you do this week to prepare for conversations with others about Jesus?
