I Love My Shepherd 27 – Chasing Freedom YA Bonus 3: Arguing for freedom with open eyes
Have you ever slept with your eyes open? When, where?
Talking about things that matter, does not always mean we will be heard.
Review: What do you remember from Galatians so far?
What is the problem? What arguments does Paul offer as solutions as you look through Galatians?
Lessons learned from Paul for argument –
Paul spend ½ chapter of Galatians presenting the problem
5 ½ chapters identifying a solution
check outline in study bible (I have The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House)
What we can learn from Paul about eyes wide open?
Question 1: Do we have a foundation with them?
Question 2: Where is the best place for this conversation? Have I thought through it?
Have I thought this through?
Question 3: What has God already done for this person? What does God do in our lives to share His love that is our foundation?
Question 4: Are we helping or are we picking?
Where do you go to hear about God’s promises and grace for you?
What promises from God have you heard outloud in Sunday School, church, from your parents, your youth leader, reading the Word, whatever that have stuck with you? What stories from Scripture or messages give you hope?
Challenge: What problems do people have around you, friends or strangers that you can bring Jesus into, to care, and share hope?
