REVIEW.
“What did you take away from last time?” [Refer to last week’s responses.] “How did that go?”
READ.
Matthew 18:19-20; Galatians 3:27
Summary: Christians focus on clothing versus climbing.
Discussion Questions:
1. What does it mean to be baptized into the Trinity?* Where are we positioned in relation to God?
2. How does Galatians 3:27 describe baptism? Contrast a life of “clothing” or connecting, versus a life of climbing or achieving. How does that shape how we approach being confused, defeated or cold-hearted?
RESPOND.
“How can today’s discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together. [Record responses and prayer requests.]
*In Matthew 28:19, “the preposition ‘into’ strongly suggests a coming-into-relationship-with or a coming-under-the-Lordship-of.” (Carson, D. A. (1984). Matthew)
