Small Group Questions
1. How does the gospel shape our interactions with unbelievers on a daily basis? Consider political leaders, co-workers, neighbors, family, etc.
2. Consider Proverbs 3:3. How do we practically extend kindness without compromising truth in our relationships with unbelievers?
3. What about the sermon convicted you the most? What will you do to act on that conviction this week?
Core Questions
• What is God teaching you about Himself from His Word, and how is your life different/changing as a result?
• How have you seen God answering prayer? What are you praying for?
• How is God using you in the process of evangelism to draw people up Himself?
• What sins has God revealed to you so that you might repent of them? In light of grace realities, what must that repentance look like?
