3. What is the significance of a kinsman-redeemer? How is Jesus a kinsman-redeemer?
4. Pastor Mike shared this quote: “When we act, think, talk, and love like Jesus, we’ll have more walk-in business than we can handle.” What does that mean? What are the implications for us?
5. Can you think of someone to whom you have felt drawn because of Jesus in their life?

7. How is the gospel attractive? In what ways is it repulsive?
8. The great commission (Matthew 28:19) can be translated as “as you are going, make disciples.” What does this mean? How can you put this to practice as you go about your life? Spend some time in prayer with your group for this.
