"Reconciliation" - Genesis 33 (September 13, 2015)

1. Have someone read the passage aloud.
2. Think of a relationship that you're in where there is need for reconciliation.
3. Looking at this passage, how do we see Jacob embodying what is needed for the logic of reconciliation?
3. What prevents you from being humble & grateful as you interact with that difficult person?
4. What are the difficulties that come up in seeking reconciliation? First in this passage and in our own lives?
5. Ryan talked not only about the need for individuals to seek reconciliation but also for the church, corporately, to lead the way. Where are the places that the church can do this? How can we be a living demonstration of the gospel of reconciliation.
6. What is the motivation behind seeking reconciliation?
7. Take some time in prayer, asking God to give you wisdom and courage to seek reconciliation.
