But Jesus Said (Sermon on the Mount)
LifeGroup Study Guide – Week 12: “Fulfilling the Law”
Stepping In: Getting things started!
1 – Take some time to introduce each other if you have new people in your group.
- How did you find Community?
- What’s something about yourself few people know?
- What is one thing you believe God has been teaching you lately?
2 – Share some of your personal highlights from our recent EASTER weekend at Community.
3 – What was something that stood out in our past weekend’s message?
Building Up: What is God Saying?
Read Matthew 5:17-20—Then answer the following questions:
1 – Verse 17: What are some ways Jesus “fulfilled” the Law?
2 – Verse 18: What could Jesus mean by saying “everything is accomplished”?
3 – Verse 19: The Law is powerful as God sets the standard according to His character and holiness. How does this verse challenge and inspire you?
4 – Verse 20: How could we ever surpass the “righteousness” of the pharisees?
Read Galatians 2:19-21—How do these verses give understanding and perspective to what Jesus is saying in Matthew 5?
Living Out: How do I obey?
1 – How can you make sure your heart is engaged in the process of following Jesus…and not just “behaving” in the correct ways?
2 – How does Paul’s promise, in Romans 8:1, of “no condemnation for those who are in Christ” encourage and inspire you to live for Jesus every day? What would you like to see change in your own life in order to better follow Jesus?
3 – As a LifeGroup, you’ll be doing a SERVICE PROJECT together. Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to serve those in our Valley. When you come up with a plan, please let us know about it by emailing: john@community.cc.
A powerful expression of biblical community.
This is a setting in which people connect with a small group of friends who are mutually committed to caring for one another, growing in their faith, and impacting others for the cause of Christ. We invite you to find a group of friends that live near you so you can join them in “sharing life together.”
Our LifeGroups are a powerful and personal way to develop your faith. We need other people in our life to best grow to be more like Jesus.
If you have questions about our LifeGroups, please contact John Scott.
