QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON DURING THE WEEK - “Freedom To”

  1. Read Acts 15:1-5. What is the issue that the church is facing?

  2. Read Acts 15:6-22.  What is their decision regarding this issue?  How do they go about making their decision?

  3. Read 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1.  Their decision at the Jerusalem council in Acts 15 deals with how to live under the freedom of Christ.  How does Paul in 1 Corinthians shed more light on this?

  4. What are some temptations you have faced that cause you to use the freedom you have in Christ that is permissible but not beneficial? 

  5. How does Christ and His attitude towards you and other sinners serve as a model to imitate for neighbors in your life?
