5.12.24 - Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable (Kenny Camacho)

SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3

“Leaning into discomfort develops what you believe, refines how you think, sands off the parts of you that aren’t wholly in line with God’s heart, and fills in the gaps our own pride and fear create.”

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. When was the last time you were uncomfortable in church? Did you find that experience to be ultimately helpful? If so, why? And if not, why not?

  2. What are some of the uncomfortable relationships in your life right now? What hope can you see or sense in them?

  3. In the Galatians 2 passage, Paul celebrates Peter’s initial willingness to “sit with the gentiles.” Why is this important? What does Paul hope this experience will teach Peter? What does he hope it will reveal to the gentiles?

  4. Once Peter changes seats, what is Paul’s purpose in challenging him? 

  5. How might we connect our experiences with comfort/discomfort with the example Jesus sets for us? What can we learn from this comparison?

  6. Kenny said that our society is all-too-eager to help us narrow down our beliefs and convictions so that we are more predictable… and more easily outraged. Where are you currently “digging down” in your life? How can you seek more diversity?
