Sermon

Reconciliation: Crossing Thresholds

December 6, 2015 Brett FullerSermonsActs

Racial reconciliation happens in the seats, not in the pulpit. You must walk with people who are different in order to love them.

Reconciliation: Crossing Thresholds

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing you found particularly interesting, insightful, helpful or difficult to understand from this sermon?
  2. Read and discuss Acts 10. What do these verses tell us about us? What do they tell us about God? What encouragements, warnings or commands are here for us to heed?
  3. What examples of ethnic discrimination do you see in these verses? How is it resolved?
  4. How does our own hypocrisy keep us from crossing ethnic thresholds?
  5. What is the role of prayer in racial reconciliation?
  6. “You must walk with people who are different than you in order to understand and love them.” Have you found this to be true? What examples have you seen of this?
  7. How can you reach out to those who don’t like you, or whom you don’t like? What is one way you can you be intentional to cross racial/ethnic thresholds in your life?
  8. How does the gospel of Jesus Christ empower us to cross ethnic thresholds? How did Jesus walk with people who were different than Him? What must our response be to His example?
  9. Spend some time in prayer, thanking God that He walks with us in Christ. Ask Him to enable you with gospel-powered grace and wisdom to intentionally cross ethnic/racial thresholds in your spheres of influence.
