Discussion Questions
1. Think again about the concept of proslambano described in the message. How might this picture of moving excitedly toward one another in order to welcome or greet them impact the way you engage with other believers the next time you see them or come to a worship service?

2. Why is it so hard to “accept” other believers sometimes?

3. Pastor Jim suggested that we are a highly “offendable” society right now. In what ways do you think this may be true? Give examples.

4. How does the concept of “bearing with” one another impact how quickly we allow ourselves to become offended, turn off, or turn away?

5. Is there anyone that you need to extend forgiveness toward in your heart?

NOTE: Sometimes it would be inappropriate to forgive someone privately, but it may need to be confronted. Seek counsel from Matthew 18 and godly mentors in this case.

6. What do you find yourself quick to judge other believers on?
