Welcome!

To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to all who will come, this church opens wide her doors and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ice Breakers: What is one completely insignificant thing that you are surprisingly judgmental about? (How people load the dishwasher, pronunciation, socks with sandals, ketchup on eggs, etc.)

1. Where have you felt the "climate of fear and conformity" most? At work, at school, in your family, or online? What makes the approval of those around us so powerful?

2. Paul thanks God that the Thessalonians received the Word "not as the word of men but as what it really is." What practical difference does it make to come to a sermon, or open your Bible, expecting God to speak?

3. Look back at the diagnostic questions. Which one encouraged you, and which one convicted you? If God's Word seems not to be working in you right now, is the cause more likely exposure, approach, or pride?

4. What does it mean to you that your "theological location" in Christ runs deeper than your family, culture, or politics? How have you seen the church become "a hundredfold" family for someone who paid a price for following Jesus (Mark 10:29-30)?

5. Our culture says faith is a private matter. Where have you gone along with that, and what would a natural, unforced conversation about Christ look like in your circles?

6. How can God's final judgment be a comfort rather than a cause for gloating? How does Paul's own story, from persecutor to apostle, change the way we pray for people who oppose the gospel?

7. How can we tell the difference between being opposed for Christ and being criticized for our own sin or harshness? Why does that distinction matter?
