An Active Savior and Mission Midweek Reflection Questions

1.      According to Deuteronomy 4:6–7, what was Israel's witness to the surrounding nations? How does that same principle continue in the Christian life today?

2.     Jesus tells us to let our light shine before others (Matthew 5:16). What kinds of "good works" help point people to God rather than us?

3.     Jesus begins the Great Commission by declaring that all authority belongs to Him. Why is that significant before He gives the command to "make disciples”?

4.    What happens to a church when it begins to view evangelism and disciple-making as optional rather than essential?

5.     What are some common areas where people struggle to submit to Christ's authority?

6.    How does knowing Christ is with you give confidence to obey Him in difficult situations?
