Sermon-based small groups

When Monday comes, often the lessons of Sunday morning have slipped away. If you're looking to really hear and understand what God is saying to you, a great place to start is a sermon-based small group. Below are some questions to kick-start your group discussion.

Romans 8:1-17 (nov. 8)

What are some things that are so ingrained in you that you do or say them without even thinking about it?
Read Hebrews 8:10. What is the result of a heart inscribed with God's law? How could we move in that direction?
We talk about accepting Jesus as both Savior and Lord. Which one of those needs attention in your heart? How do you know?
In your partnership with the Spirit, do you tend to try to do too much or too little? Where you are today, what might bring that more into balance?
Relationship creates obligation. What are some negative examples of obligations created by relationships? What are some positive examples?

LAST WEEK'S QUESTIONS

How does you flesh (sinful nature) usually react to rules/restrictions?
What needs to change to bring that into line with God's heart?
Think about your regular attitudes and choices; do they indicate you are located in the Kingdom of Sin or the Kingdom of Grace?
Do you agree or disagree with Paul's assessment: "Nothing good lives in me"?
In what ways does that ring true? In what ways does it not?
