Group Discussion

• How have you heard your friends and family define faith?
• Do you sense a difference in the obedience that comes from guilt, fear, and joy (whether to God, parents, or teachers)?
• If you were explaining faith as “allegiance” to a friend, what kind of examples might you use to show what true fidelity really means?
• Are there areas of your life where you want to shift your loyalty to Jesus from “Is this all I have to do?” to “What else can I do?”
