Discussion:
- What is the general story or context of Galatians? Hint: Paul is challenging the Judiazers who are “perverting the gospel”. In other words, making it about law, rather than Jesus and his grace.
- Why would Paul be so strong in his words about changing the gospel of Jesus?
- Pastor Tim referred to the center as Jesus and his grace. In your own words, how would you describe “the center” of Christianity and why?
- Pastor Tim talked about Bounded-set, Fuzzy-set, and Centered-set church. Where have you experienced a Bounded-set church gone wrong? Where have you seen a Centered-set church operate well? How did it impact the people inside and outside the church?
- In what ways do you drift from making the gospel about Jesus? How can you try to change that?
Prayer:
- Gather prayer requests from the group.
- Take a moment in silence to ask God if there is anyone to invite to this message series. Share the name if it is ok to and pray for these people.
- Break into groups of 3 or 4 and pray for each other.
