1.) Who is the Holy Spirit to you? What do you know about Him and have you felt His working in your life? Was there anything in particular that stuck out to you about the Holy Spirit from the sermon this week or in your personal time with God? Something that perhaps you learned new or that you were reminded of or that you disagree with?

2.) What does the word of God say about our “standing” or condition with God? What does it mean that we are no longer condemned but are free from the law of sin and death? Do you feel this freedom in your life daily or do you struggle with guilt/shame/doubt? Why? How can the Holy Spirit help you with that? How can we help you with that?

3.) Why is love such a key component to our relationship with God and the fruit of the Spirit? How do we love an unloving world/our neighbors, when they sometimes put themselves against us and God? What are practical ways we can do that this week?

Gentleness

June 4, 2023 • Brandon Rose, Laura Cochran, Lisa Rose

1.) When you think of the word “gentleness, what comes to mind? Is being gentle or humble good traits or bad traits? Why? Is it easy to be gentle or to have faith like a child? Why? 2.) How does God typically speak to you or reveal Himself to you? Is it loud and furious and powerful or is it more like a whisper? Why do you think people sometimes have a hard time hearing the voice of God? What keeps you from hearing Him clearly? 3.) If you knew and believed in your total being that God loves you and is for you and you are His workmanship, how would that make you feel? What would that enable you to do or how would it affect your life? How do we get to a place in oiur lives where do know truly how God feels about us? 4.) What does forgiveness require? How do we let go of our need for justice or vengeance or even “an eye for an eye” and forgive those who hurt us?
