SUNDAY DISH
We kicked off our new fall series, The Good Life, with 1 Timothy 1. Jamey challenged us to consider what people see when they look at Jesus’ church. Paul confronts teaching that creates insiders and outsiders, then points to his own story as evidence of Jesus’ mercy and patience. The goal? Let God’s grace form us into people whose love makes Jesus visible.
Q1: When Have You Felt Like an Outsider?
When was the last time you walked into a place where you didn’t know anyone? What helped you feel welcome?
Q2: When Traditions Divide
What are some ways Christian traditions or preferences can create insiders and outsiders?
Follow-up: Who has made following Jesus appealing to you by the way they lived?
Q3: The Goal Is Love
Paul says the goal of his instruction is love. How can we tell the difference between teaching that forms us in Jesus and arguments that simply make us feel right?
Q4: Grace That Changes Us
“Most people do not need to be told they’re failing; they need to be reminded God loves them in spite of it.” How do we offer that reassurance while still inviting people to be changed by Jesus?
Q5: Making Jesus Visible
The Big Idea says, “The way of Jesus becomes believable when it becomes visible in us.” When is it easiest—or hardest—for you to display the Good Life?
Follow-up: Who might we need to move toward as a church family?
Q6: Still Becoming
What would you say to someone who feels like their slow progress means they’re failing?
Follow-up: What’s one hopeful next step they can take this week?
