86ing Jesus?? Week 4- Jesus Died For Us

Weren't able to hear the teaching conversation in person this weekend? Catch up with OUR PODCAST.

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:

Hebrews 2:14-15, 9:1-2, 9-12, 10:1-4; Ephesians 1:7-10; Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 3:10, 13, 19, 22-26; 1 Timothy 2:4-6; Isaiah 53; Acts 17:1-3

REFLECT/DISCUSS:

· When have you felt truly free & why?

· Agree/Disagree & Explain: Jesus is best known for dying.

· Read through Isaiah 53. What is your response to hearing that everything Jesus experienced as described in this chapter was “God’s Will”?

· How would you explain to someone else why Jesus’ death is vital to humanity? Different from anyone else’s?

· How would you complete this sentence? Take Jesus’ death out of the story between man & God and we’d be missing _____________________.

· What attempts have you made to deal with your own mistakes/sins in light of what happens after this life- relativism, karma, balancing the scales, keeping the law, something else? Did any of them take away your fear or guilt and leave you w/freedom?

· According to the passages above, why did God give people the OT law and sacrificial system if it couldn’t really set them free?

· What do you think/feel when you read that Jesus died for ALL people in EVERY era? (Hebrews 9:12, 1 Timothy 10:1-4)

· Have you grabbed hold of the freedom Jesus offers you? If not, what is standing in your way? If so, are you living like you are truly free?
