SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:11-22, John 13:34
REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
What is the difference between thinking of the Jesus story as “a good idea” and thinking of it in the Roman sense of “good news”?
In Ephesians 2:11-14, Paul talks about how a new humanity has been created in place of the old identities. How does this idea relate to the mission of the church?
Why is the church community an absolutely essential part of the church’s witness?
What are some of the “Kingdom values” we can proclaim together as a community in the world?
How do “heartwork” and “homework” contribute to the mission of the church?
What does it mean for the church to be the soul of the world?
What practical actions can we take to embody the life, light, and love that brings blessing and change to our community?
