Mission Community Guide • Week of 11/8
Options for Engagement Before Group
This week we are taking a break from the series focused on emotional health. Please listen to Abbot Chris’s sermon from Sunday, November 8th.
Discussion Questions
How have you felt the world around you pushing you to put your hope in man rather than in God? What has your experience been with this?
In the sermon on Sunday, Abbott Chris said that we can often be tempted to “become fixated on what we believe is RIGHT. There is no room for openness... and if someone disagrees, they are not to be trusted. Essentially, we take up our swords... and we choose expediency over love.” Jesus lived a counter-cultural kind of life while on earth. While holding on to the truth of the gospel, he lived a life of sacrifice and love toward others. How do you think the example of Jesus is calling us to live in this cultural moment? What could this look like?
In our families, neighborhoods and places of work, we are called to be Christians--“little Christs.” Ambassador’s of His reconciliation. What is a specific way you would appreciate prayer for your upcoming week as you seek to live into that calling?
