WATCH SERMON

DISCUSS
1. Can you share a time when you felt most “seen” when you were a child?
2. When have you been “forced” to do something that could have impacted you, like Simon carrying the cross?
3. Have you ever symbolically nailed your sins to the cross? What emotions did it bring up for you?
4. How will you focus on the cross as we approach Holy Week?
5. What does it look like to follow in the footsteps of the cross?
6. Did you have a moment when you went from being forced to carry the cross and instead chose to carry the cross? What did that look like in your life?
