Your Remarkable Redemption – Pastor Perry Kallis - 1/23/2011
Text Eph. 1:7-14 - Small Group Discussion Questions

1. What is the value of having a daily quiet time? Is there something that is keeping you from meeting with God? What gets in the way and why?

2. What about God makes you in awe of Him or are you seldom amazed by Him?
For some ideas read Psalm 145

3. Read Phil 2:5-11. Really think about what Jesus actually had to give up, live without, endure, on a daily basis to give you the opportunity to be redeemed and talk with Him. Don’t just say He died on the cross and rose again.


4. How does the fact that God redeemed us give us worth? Is there anything else that gives us worth?

5. What does it mean to you to be: Justified?
Forgiven?
Adopted?
Reconciled?
Redeemed?

6. Sometimes talk about meeting God and looking forward to that time makes people feel uneasy. Have you ever felt that way? Why?

7. “The Forgiveness He has lavished on us in His Grace” (reference) Is there enough forgiveness to go around? Are there things in your life that you believe are too big or bad for God to forgive you? If there are, consider getting together with someone you trust and talk this through because, if you have accepted His grace, you are forgiven.

8. In what ways does our refusing to accept God’s forgiveness keep us from a vital, exciting, wonderful relationship with the Lord?


9. How should someone who has been redeemed look different from others?
What difference should it make in your everyday life?
