Discussion Questions:
Overcomplicating & Under Simplifying
Have you seen other people overcomplicate or under simplify truths? Where have you been guilty of these in life?
Where are you tempted to do this with the Christian Life?
Walk in the Light with Belief, Obedience, & Love
How do Belief, Obedience, & Love work together to help us walk in the light? What happens when we only walk in one or two of these?
Three Principles for walking in the light
Pastor Zach shared three principles to help us walk in the light. Discuss with your group practical ways you can adopt these principles.
Keep the Gospel Simple & Clear
Be a True Disciple
Don't Be a Hater
What obstacles keep you from walking in these principles?
APPLICATION:
Courageously share the Gospel and don't let worry or fear keep you from speaking the simple truth.
Ask God if there is an area you are lacking depth in your spiritual walk. Share with your group or another person for accountability and study and search God's Word, spend time with God's people, and grow in spiritual depth.
