A study on ‘The Good Life’

Here are Russell’s questions on Colossians 3:1-17. based on his sermon  The Good Life

  1. What does Paul mean by “set your sights on the realities of heaven?”
  2. What misconceptions does the world have about heaven, including us?
  3. Explain what is meant by ‘hidden in Christ’? V3
  4. Why is it important to get rid of our old nature ? Give an example, if you can, the types of things that you once loved.
  5. Where do you find your identity? And how does knowing Christ change that?
  6. What does it mean to live the good life in Christ Jesus? Healthy eating, being self-sufficient or something entirely different?

A DIY Study on Luke 14: 25-35

This week, instead of working through a list of questions set for you, read the passage ( Luke 14: 25-35) and then phrase by phrase, as a group explain it together, and to each other.

If you missed Dave’s sermon here’s the link – Jesus demands we give Him everything

After your study please take some time to pray: for each other, our fellowship and Sierra Leone.
