Small Group Discussion
Read 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

  1. What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?

  2. Explain how the love of Christ controls us (2 Cor 5:14-15). How does that motivate you to share the Good News of Jesus with others?

  3. What is the difference between “I am commanded to witness” vs “I am a witness”? How does understanding your identity make you an effective witness for sharing the Good News of Jesus?

  4. What would you say to someone who says, “Honestly - I don't really share Christ with others. It's just not my gift.”
