Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. How is the Christian life different if you are living it in order to earn what you have been given rather than in gratitude for what you have been given?
2. Reflect on how God’s love has persevered with you despite your repeated sin and failure. What feelings does this evoke in you?
3. The loving responsiveness God asks for is depicted as circumcision of the heart. How does Colossians 2:11-12 shed light on this?
