Small Group Discussion Questions
How do Bonhoeffer’s, Corrie ten Boom’s, Gracia Burnham's, and Louis Zamperini's examples of loving their enemies challenge you? (Look up their testimonies online to review if you need to.)
What’s the difference between “ordinary” love and the “perissos” (more, extraordinary, peculiar) love Jesus calls us to (Matt. 5:46-47)?
The sermon illustrates perfect love (Matthew 5:48) as a fountain that flows freely to others, akin to God’s love flowing through us (1 John 4:12). What “plugs” (such as bitterness, fear, or pride) could be obstructing your ability to let God’s love reach others?
Bonhoeffer calls the cross the “extraordinary mark of Christian existence.” How does Jesus’ example of praying for His enemies on the cross (Luke 23:34) shape your understanding of what it means to be a Christian?
The sermon asks, “What makes us distinctly Christian?” How can loving your enemies this week reflect the cross and set you apart in a world full of division?
