[Sunday] Why We Stopped Talking - Spiritual Conversations
Questions for the week
Have you ever had a bad experience talking about your faith? Why do you think it’s so difficult to talk about your faith?
Read Colossians 4:2-6. How does Paul encourage us to witness our faith?
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?”
Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith. Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility. For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.
