Christ Community Shawnee
Suffering Witnesses - 9 & 10:45am & ON-DEMAND
CONVERSATION STARTERS
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?
2) Why do you think the church’s truth-telling function leads to suffering?
3) How have you seen Christians abuse our role of being truth tellers? How can the church avoid the pitfall of representing the truth in an arrogant way?
4) What are some ways we can increase our courage now, so that when it comes to bear witness to the truth of Jesus, we will be willing, no matter the cost?
PRAYER
• Take time to ask God to give one another bold, humble, hopeful witness in this tense time. That your life and words will point to the true Kingdom of Christ that will one day return.
