Text: Colossians 3:12-17
- Compassion: "a churning in your soul to act." Talk about a time you were moved with compassion for someone? Who was it for, what you did about it?
- Why does compassion seem to be missing in our culture today?
- Look together at the virtues in Colossians 3:12-15. Which virtues come naturally for you? Which virtues take work? Which virtues are you personally struggling with right now?
- Read Colossians 3:1-4. Justin said “The only way to grow in sanctification is to feast on justification.” What are the practical applications of this to your daily life? Share thoughts with your group.
- Talk with your group about committing to doing the "Community Groups 6-week Compassion Challenge" on page 11 of the booklet on this page: https://voxchurch.org/40days (Be sure to log your acts of compassion too)
For Further Study: Read Romans 7:15-25 in a few different versions and discuss its comparison to the daily war that takes place in your mind. Read I Corinthians 15:57-58 and thank Jesus for victory over sin and death! Read John 13:35 and ask God to help clothe yourself daily with love for others!!!
