Text: Colossians 3:12-17

  1. 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? 

  2. Why does compassion seem to be missing in our culture today? 

  3. 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? 

  4. 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.

  5. 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!!!
