Discussion Questions

What do you think when you hear the phrase “life is sacred”? Where are you tempted to lose wonder, awe, and reverence for life?
Where are you personally experiencing the brokenness of the world and the forces of death at work (e.g. illness, death of a family member)? How can those in your group pray for and support you in these difficulties?
How does Jesus’ resurrection give us hope in the face of so much death in the world? How can we help one another experience the abundant, resurrection life of Jesus while we await his return?
How has God gifted and equipped you to be a force for life in this world? What specific issues are you personally passionate about, and where has God opened opportunities for you to serve and minister? (Note: think about your own personal work, and less about voting and politics in light of the list that Aaron shared on Sunday.)

Prayer Points

Pray that God would help us—as individual disciples and as a church—to be about the work of life in our region.
Should the Lord delay his return, pray that each of us would live each day with a readiness to face death with the hope of the gospel and our future resurrection.
