Video references:

Read these verses and the surrounding verses. What are the facts about what God is saying in these verses? How do they apply to you, the Body of Christ?
"Once our eyes were opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act." Prov. 24:12
"Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help." Isaiah 58:7
Discussion Questions
  1. Read PS. 139: 13-18. Have you embraced the fact that you are precious to God? Why or Why not? How does this knowledge influence the way you live your life? How about how you look at or see others?
  2. Do you believe it is difficult to be authentic with others? Why or why not? What benefits come with living an authentic life with others and God? Share one road block preventing you from living authentically and identify an action you can take this week to overcome it.
  3. There are many who feel forgotten in your own community. Discuss those in our KC area who may be forgotten. What is one tangible way you can reach out to them or more specifically to your local foster care community?
  4. Discuss as a group the role Jesus plays in your life and whether you are content in your current relationship with him. If not, define and share one way you are going to pursue intimacy with our risen Christ or learn more about Him.
- Is he a historical figure that was a great leader?
- Is he your savior?
- Do you view him as a God of rules?
- Do you see him as a loving, tender God?
