DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: What are some of the worst things you’ve ever done, or that have been

done to you? Do you still carry those things with you today & if so, what price

do you pay for them?

Q: How do the Scriptures/concepts from this week help you grow as a disciple

who loves God, loves people & serves the world (lives on incarnational

mission) in everyday life?

Q: Based on these Scriptures, how can you move from unbelief to belief, from

just knowing to actually doing in your life?

Connect with God (UP)…

Q: Read Romans 5:17-18,21 & Hebrews 9:1-14,10:19-22. God had the right to

make us pay for our own sins, but He chose to pay the price for them once &

for all Himself. Why would God do that?? What does it say about God? What

does it say about you?

Q: Read Matthew 27:50-51. Why is it so significant that the temple veil was

torn from the top to the bottom? How can this Truth apply to “veils”,

barriers, struggles you might be facing in your life?

Q: How does the cross rule out the possibility of a works-based salvation?

Connect with Others (IN)…

Q: Read Matthew 27:45-46 & Psalm 22:1-5. How amazing is it that in Jesus’

worst moment of physical & spiritual agony, this is the song that comes to

His mind & heart? What can we fill our minds & hearts with to remind us of

the “yets” in our suffering? How can we encourage each other with this too?

Connect with the World (OUT)…

Growing disciples who love God, love people & serve the world. Growing disciples who love God, love people & serve the world.

Q: Look back at the lists of what we did & what Jesus did. As you see examples

of the struggle of humanity around you, how can you share the Good News

of how Jesus engages those things?
