St Barnabas Cambridge

Talk: Sin, Faith & Duty

Series: Equipped On The Way

Speaker: Charlie Wheeler

Reading: Luke 17:1-10

Discussion Questions:

- What ways can we fall into false humility?

- In the Bible we hear the phrase 'the fear of the Lord,' denoting the awesome power of God and our smallness in comparison. How can the 'fear of the Lord' lead us to true humility?

- We are sinners but we are saved. How does the truth about God's grace lead us to humility?

- Paul calls himself a 'slave to Christ.' What does being a slave to Christ mean to you? Do you find it a helpful or unhelpful image of our relationship with Christ?

- Paul also calls the apostles 'fools for the sake of Christ.' How may we take our calling as followers of Christ seriously but not take ourselves too seriously?
