If you were not able to join us this past Sunday night then you can get the podcast through itunes or directly from our podcast page The picture I have posted represents the icon of the Agnes Dei or "Lamb of God". The lamb has represented the humility and sacrifice of Christ throughout Christian history. It seemed particularly appropriate as an image given the topic last week. The meek and sacrificial lamp carries the cross as a symbol of the kingdom for which it gives itself.
With this image and the subject of Sunday night's teaching in the front of your mind, here are some questions that will hopefully further the conversation.
1.) If there are some in your group who are commemorating the Lenten season you can take a couple of minutes to share what you may be learning so far during this time.
2.) "Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it"
This sounds like a contradictory thought. What does it mean to you? have you found it to be true in your life? Are there any times in your life in the past or present in which you felt like you have lost something important by trying to protect it?
3.) We talked on Sunday about being in a battle. Does war language regarding our spiritual lives sit well wth you or not? Why? What are some negative ways you have heard war language used within Christianity?
4.) In what ways have you seen the tendency in your life to choose security and safety over and above the cross of Christ?
