Questions for the Week: Missio Dei - Zeal In The Way

  1. Can you think of a time when you were really zealous or passionate about something, and discuss whether that zeal was helpful or unhelpful in that situation?

  2. Read Acts 11 (specifically focus on the verses around verse 17) and Peter saying, "who was I that I could stand in God's way?" Can you think of situations where you might be, or have been, unintentionally standing in God's way because of your own ideas or traditions, even if you thought we were doing the right thing?

  3. Paul's transformation was key in the sermon (Philippians 3:4-6). What do we learn from his journey about how our understanding of God and faith can change and grow over time, and what does that mean for us?

  4. The sermon ended by reminding us that "Christians are little Christs" and are called to bring God's love to unexpected people.  Where have you seen unexpected people come into the family of faith?
