[Sunday] Why We Stopped Talking - Spiritual Conversations

ServiceSundaySermons
Written By Cris Escher

Questions for the week

  1. Have you ever had a bad experience talking about your faith?  Why do you think it’s so difficult to talk about your faith?

  2. Read Colossians 4:2-6.  How does Paul encourage us to witness our faith?

  3. Look at the Lutheran Hour Ministries Conversations Curve.  How can recognizing if a person is unreceptive, receptive, or seeking allow your conversation to be “gracious and seasoned with salt so you may know how you ought to answer each person?”
