Discussion Questions for September 28, 2025
If you enjoy these questions or they are useful, I would like to hear about it! - Pastor Harvey

1. Seeing Sin Clearly (Don’t Be Blind)
  • What “idols” or sins in your everyday life do you tend to overlook or accept as normal?
  • How can we help each other recognize sin in our culture without becoming judgmental or cynical?
2. Feeling Holy Grief (Don’t Be Numb)
  • When you see sin around you, does it stir righteous anger in your heart or leave you indifferent? Why?
  • What practical steps can we take to cultivate a heart that grieves over what grieves God?
3. Responding with the Gospel (Don’t Be Bitter)
  • How do you typically respond when confronted with sin or wrongdoing—anger, bitterness, or gospel-minded engagement?
  • Has there been a time when responding with patience, truth, or love had a more positive impact than reacting in anger or avoidance?
4. Personal Idols
  • What “modern idols” (power, pleasure, possessions, approval, technology, etc.) compete with your devotion to God? How can you reduce their influence?
  • How can we encourage one another to identify and remove modern idols from our lives without legalism or shame?
5. Living as a Light in a Dark World
  • In what specific ways can you shine Christ’s light in your home, workplace, or community this week?
  • What are some practical ways our church can engage the community with truth and love, following Paul’s example in Athens?
