Race, the Gospel, and the Kingdom
Opener (if needed): What is something new that you have learned this week, and how are your responding to the information?
Keep it lighthearted and fun. This may apply to our race conversation, or it could be anything going on in your life.
Read the Scripture: Romans 12:9-19 & Philippians 2:3-4
Reflect on the sermon. Is there anything that stood out to you? How are you encouraged or convicted?
What qualities mentioned in Romans 12 challenge or affirm you? How might God be calling you to respond?
Romans 12:9, “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. “
How does Jesus challenge us to look at people differently?
Philippians 2:3-4, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
The Scripture calls us to be hospitable. How do we actively (not passively) live this out right now?
Romans 12:10,13, “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor…Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”
