SAINT: (Week 1) Questions for discussion & Reflection

1. What insight, principle, or observation from this weekend’s message did you find to be most helpful, eye opening, or troubling? Explain.





2. 1 Corinthians 1:7 reads, “Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed” (NIV). Read the following scriptures and note the “spiritual gifts” possessed by every Christ-follwer.



John 3:7—



Titus 3:5—



Ephesians 2:3-4—



2 Corinthians 6:18—



Galatians 3:26—



2 Corinthians 5:20—



3. Read Ephesians 2:1-3, 11-12. What was our identity prior to Christ?



4. How does Romans 8:15 and Galatians 4:6 describe our identity in Christ?



“As God’s child, God no longer is only our creator, but now becomes our “Abba.” The Aramaic term “Abba” is similar to saying “Daddy” or “Papa.” What does this reveal about God’s “daddy” heart toward you?



5. How should your identity as a “saint” influence how you live and relate toward your Father God? Toward others?
