DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

• When you personally find it hard to repent, what are the factors? How does John’s message speak to those?
• Why do you think John’s applications of repentance had to do with money? How is that  message applicable to our American culture?
• John’s humility is a wonderful example of the posture we all should have. What is humility? How can we grow in it?
