MISSIONAL COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

1. Re-read Ephesians 2:11-17 (if possible listen to the sermon again.)

2. In looking over your notes from this weeks sermon what was the most important truth from God's Word? Was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you? Any questions?

3. When and why do you feel most “far off” from God? What is the truth even in those times? How can we specifically remind ourselves of this truth?

4. What are some non-gospel issues that you find yourself getting upset over? What are some gospel issues that you find yourself trying to explain away and justify? Why are these so easy to get mixed up?

5. Read Galatians 3:28, 6:15, Colossians 3:10-11, Romans 4:3-12.

How do these apply to us? How can we live these out practically in our daily lives?

6. What ‘dividing walls’ have been broken down in your life by the blood of Jesus? How did God break those down?

7. What ‘dividing walls’ do you still see in your life now, no matter how small? How can the gospel break those down? How can we help you?

8. Psalm 34:14 says “turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.”

Hebrews 12:14 says “14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord

What does it truly mean to pursue and strive for peace with everyone?
