DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Talk about a time when acting selflessly made you happier. Why do you think you felt happy?
- As a group, read Matthew 7:15-27. How do you think this relates to what we know God wants us to do and how we actually act?
- Everyone has a “knowing/doing” gap. What would you say yours is and how can your group pray for you this week to close this gap?
