Life-Giving Truth
What was last week’s truth? (What matter’s most is people finding Jesus.)
Since you have been connected to FLC, how has this truth impacted you? In what ways is your life different as a result of this truth than it used to be?
What is the difference between “being” the church and “doing” church?
Practically speaking, what attitudes and actions do you see in your life that seem to convey the church is about being rather than doing?
Read Matthew 5:13-16
If this is a description of the church, how does it support the idea of being rather than doing?
Talk about implications of being salty? Why do you think this word is used to describe the church?
How does a church intent on “doing,” rather than “being,” lose it’s saltiness?
What happens if we lose our saltiness?
Are you salty? Why or why not?
What happens to the church if all the people that make it up have become tasteless? What does it do to the gospel?
Truth: I am the church
Remind yourself of that truth all week long, live in it, allow it to change your thoughts and attitudes about yourself and others.
