1.14.24 - For Your Sake! (Kenny Camacho)

SCRIPTURE: Romans 3:22-24, Ephesians 4:11-13, & Genesis 2:15, 18-23

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. In what ways have you experienced the benefits of being in a church community?

2. Do you ever feel tempted to try and “make it on your own”? Where do you think this feeling comes from? How might your relationship with God and/or other Christians challenge this approach?

3. What does Romans 3:22-24 tell us about living on our own without the help of others? What does the “commonness of sin” have to do with the story?

4. How does the idea of American consumerism influence the way we think about personal growth, and how does community challenge this perspective?

5. Ephesians 4:11-13 emphasizes the importance of diversity in roles within a community for personal growth. What is your role in your church community, and how do you see it contributing to the growth of others?

6. How can we ensure that we are loving others in our church community deeply, as described in 1 Corinthians 13:1?

7. What is one thing you can do this week to take a step closer to community?
