Family Worship/Group Discussion Questions

1. Prayerfully reflect on your heart, circumstances, relationships, etc. How did you "come" into worship today?
2. Where did the gospel "dwell in you richly" in the service today? In the prayers? In the singing? In the sermon?
3. Specifically, how were you led to turn from sin and trust in Jesus?
4. What is the one thing from the sermon this morning that you would most want to pass on to someone else?

Sermon Discussion Questions 

1. Faith is resting in Jesus' works not your own works. How are you resting?
2. When you're not resting you start boasting. Where are you most tempted to boast?
3. You are God's workmanship. How do you uniquely image God? What good works has God prepared for you? What's keeping you from giving yourself to those good works?
