Talk It Over

1. What did God say to you from the message? What affirmed your walk with God? What stuck out and challenged your walk with God?

2. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Drew talked about being Royalty as a Jesus follower and that everything about you should show others that there’s something different about you. At home, at work, at school, in your neighborhood, and behind the steering wheel—what are way you can live set apart? Consider the areas that don't look like Spiritual Royalty, what’s holding you back from being who God has made you to be?

3. Romans 12:1 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship.” Drew said, “as a living sacrifice we are to lay ourselves down as an offering at the altar of God.” What are things we are called to die to in ourselves and give to God as a living sacrifice? Think of one area you gave to God in your life and share that experience and how God has blessed it. If there was one area in your life that resembled the pattern of the world, what do you think it would it be? What would it look like to be obedient to Christ in that area?

4. Drew said, "We live out being Royalty and Holy Priests by making disciples - there is something in you that simply isn’t found here on earth.” It is not the job of professional Christians or those who have attained a title, to make disciples. All of us, as Jesus followers, are called to make disciples. How confident are you to make a disciple? How does you being Royalty and a Priest change that confidence? If you were to start to make a disciple, how would you start? What step can you take this week to be disciple-makers? Stop and pray for God to use you.
