(What’s your favorite story? Share what you love about it.)

  • When reading the Bible have you ever thought: “This isn’t a good story?”

Think of your life as a story that God is telling.

  • What do you like about the story?
  • What do you not like about the story? Why?

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We are a work in progress…

  • What good works do you think God has created you for?
  • How might he be using the circumstances in your life, even the ones you don’t like, to prepare you for the good works he has for you?
  • What is the purpose of Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension (Eph. 2:7, 13-21)?
  • What person or group of people are you most tempted to judge or erect a dividing wall of hostility towards?
  • Are you ever tempted to judge the way God is writing his story in their life/lives?

Discuss some ways you might hope for that person or group of people rather than judging them.
