REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
What are some stories from Scripture that you would rather not read? Are there some specific ones that seem troubling to you?
Get some of your own thoughts about this letter on the table: what do you see here? Why might it be important? Why do you think we tend not to teach it?
The big challenge today is about our optimism when it comes to real change. Have you seen personal change in light of your relationship with Jesus? Talk about it!
Where have you grown? Where are you still growing?
Have you seen change in others? When? What did it look like? How did it happen?
Do you sometimes feel skeptical when it comes to believing in real change? What fears or worries lead you to feel this way?
Hold these doubts up to the story of Jesus: how does God seem to feel about our capacity to repent, trust, and change?
Where can you be more optimistic this week?
