Rooted: A Study of Deeper Faith in Colossians, Part 3

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. Before you believed in Christ, did you think of yourself as an enemy of God?
  2. If you are now a believer, do you see yourself as a friend of God? What does that mean? How does it affect the way you live your life?
  3. How does the law "written in the heart" point to the presence of a moral Lawgiver?
  4. Pastor Mike used the analogy of a puzzle with "blue pieces" that represent who we are in Christ – we are reconciled, forgiven, redeemed, rescued, justified, sanctified, complete. What other blue pieces can you come up with? Are there any "yellow pieces" of your own efforts that you are tempted to add to Christ's work?
  5. Read and discuss Romans 5:1-11. How is that we are "reconciled to God"? How do we gain "peace with God"?
  6. Spend some time in prayer thanking the Lord for providing a way to be reconciled with Him.
