SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read James 2:1; 2-5. Have you ever been discriminated against? Have you ever discriminated against anyone else? Discuss this as a group. How is this contrary to the gospel, specifically as this passage lays it out? How should we treat others?

2. Read Ephesians 2:14-15, Matthew 9:36, & James 2:12-13. Using Jesus as the example and these scriptures, how are we to see others? How can we behave more like Jesus did in our work, our homes, our community? How can we have the heart and eyes of Jesus?

3. Read Galatians 3:28. We are all considered family in the body of Christ. This passage tells us that we are all one, but what exactly does that mean? If we are all one and we are all the same in God’s sight, why do we have difficulty treating others the way that we want to be treated? Discuss.

4. Read James 2:8. This passage tells us that it’s law to love others the way we love ourselves. What is the consequence of not doing so? Why was this decree so important that it was a law? What are the benefits of loving others this way? Discuss how you can personally do better in your own life within your sphere of influence and give examples.
