Discussion Questions - Re-read our main passage from this week (2 Thessalonians 3:6-15) and then with your Growth Group, family, friends, etc. thoughtfully answer the following:

1. How have you ever fallen for the lie that as Christians we aren’t to judge one another?

2. Have you ever experienced Church discipline? If so, how was it handled and how did it go?

3. Have you ever had to separate from another Christian due to their lifestyle? What did you learn from that experience?

4. Do you believe that many people who consider themselves to be Christians may actually not be saved? Why or why not?

5. How do we maintain an emphasis on God’s grace while also insisting on the ongoing work of sanctification in a believer’s life? Are these two at odds? Why or why not?

6. Who has loved you enough to confront you in your sin?

7. Who do you love enough to confront in their sin, and how will you do this?

8. What’s your next step in response to this message?
