Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. These prompts have been designed to help Community Groups grow in their relationship with God, with one another, and with their neighbors. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource to you. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.
1) What stood out to you from the sermon? Feel free to re-read this short parable as a refresher.
2) The sermon identified the ways contempt can easily bubble up in our lives. Definition of contempt:Treating others with disrespect and mocking them with sarcasm or condescension. Is there a person/people in your life you speak (or write or text) this way about?
3) What does this behavior reveal to you about your heart?
4) Refer to Luke 18:13-14 and the account of the tax collector. Recognizing our sin is the gateway to finding hope! Is asking forgiveness a regular part of your prayer life? Why or why not?
5) Read Romans 3:21-26. What stands out to you in this passage in light of our discussion?
Pray as a group that God would give you humility to see your own sin and confess it, and give grace to others in light of all the grace He has given to us.

>> You can’t change what can’t see (or won’t see).
We saw that lasting change and transformation doesn’t not come as a result of information + will power. Instead it is the result of being loved + belonging
>> The disease: thinking of yourself too highly.
"Many communities now are preference-based. The more affluent you are, the more you can personalize your world with flavors, colors, finishes, and services tailored to you. This has become so expected that we unconsciously carry these expectations into relationships." - Jon Tyson
