CONNECTING QUESTIONS

If you were to create a fictional secret identity for yourself, who would you be/ what would you be like?  Why?

Can you describe a time that was a “low point” in understanding, embracing and living out your true identity in Christ?  Can you describe a “high point” in this area?

SCRIPTURE QUESTIONS

Read Matthew 5:13-16.  Jesus talks about our good works or good deeds.  In the message we heard three criteria for good works that really count.   Can you think of some good works you have done that fit those criteria?  Can you think of some good works you have done that really didn’t?

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
