Questions:

  1. Do you have a sense of your life being lived in seasons, or chapters? Can you describe what sort of chapter you are in now - how is it different from the last one? What is prominent in this chapter? What defines it?
  2. How might Jesus give you new grace for a new chapter? Think of the chapters of your life, and how has God been graceful as you enter into those seasons?

    Virtue Pair focus: Participation and Covenant
  3. Covenant to one another under Christ is more important that many of the issues we might disagree on. How can you maintain covenant and shared participation even when there is disagreement present?
  4. God gives us new grace to replace what went before. How are you participating in sharing new grace to people who need it? How might God work through you in a new and gracious way to those who God wants to extend the table to?
  5. Off the wall: Can you think of an image that show's something breaking or broken, yet still has a light quality to it, still is a joyful or positive image while having something broken depicted? An image or artwork that shows how God's grace can come in a new way to a place that maybe looked dead.
