Show notes
What would you sacrifice to make an impact in someone's life for Christ? Would you suspend your opinions to hear their point of view? Would you look past their sin to see their soul? Jesus extended grace without compromising his character, and we are called to do the same. 1. What are you doing to keep the peace? 2. Who are the wool suits or the Hawaiian shirts in your life? Do you need to reach out past your comfort zone? 3. What tradition are you hung up on? 4. Are you a disciple maker?

How would you describe pure and holy worship?
to which lie do you need to bring truth?
How do you feel about bringing the Gospel to a dumpster fire?
