The Gospel is
The Gospel Brings
The Gospel is God’s
Reflect and Discuss
1. What, if any, risks are you currently taking for the sake of the gospel? Is there anything that prevents you from risking much for Christ’s sake? If so, explain.
2. Describe a time you had to confront evil or injustice. How did God sustain you through the process? What was the result? Is the Lord currently prompting you to confront evil or injustice, whether in your own life or in the life of someone else? If so, explain.
3. Why is it important to identify with and intercede for God’s people? In what practical ways can we do this?
4. Is anything concealed in your life today that would bring shame or reproach on Christ if it were revealed? To whom can you confess this today and find accountability?
5. How have you seen the Lord reward obedience in your life?
6. Have you ever wanted “bad” for someone else, only to experience it yourself? Why is it important to continually speak and work for the good of others?
7. Why do we tend to forget that sin leads nowhere good, beneficial, or holy?
8. When, if ever, have the consequences of your sin impacted more people than you ever imagined possible? How can we consistently remember that it might be “my sin” but “our consequences”?
9. Why do we constantly need to be reminded that God will ultimately defeat all his enemies?
10. How often do you consider that God’s wrath against your sin has been satisfied by Christ on the cross? Why should we ponder this truth more often?
11.
