Study 1 (Intro) -- Small Groups
Who expects things from you?Do you think those people who expect things from you have expectations that are too high, ortoo low? Wby?Is the way you live affected by what others think of you? How?Read Matthew 5:48What is Jesus' expectation for us?How do you know what perfect looks like?Do you think you live up to that standard?Do you think anyone does?Read Romans 3:23Does anyone live up to God's expectations?What do you think God thinks about us if we can't meet his expectations?Read Matthew 10:28-31What does this say about what God thinks of you?Read Exodus 34:6What does this tell you about the character of God?
God expects much from us. But we are unable to ever meet his standards. However, the bible still calls us to live in a way that pleases God and that sets an example for other Christians (older or younger than us). God is a loving, compassionate, gracious God, and he wants all of us to livea full life following Him.
Any more questions?
