                                                       Sermon Discussion Questions


 1) After reading over the passage, what was Paul’s message and reason for traveling to Jerusalem?

 2) How do we see Paul taking risks for love of the poor, the Church and Christ in this reading?

3) Bulletin quote: “Much of the Christian spiritual life is learning daily how to warm yourself at the fire of God’s love, instead of having to steal self love and acceptance from other sources.” (Richard Lovelace) What are some ways you have learned to “warm yourself by the fire” of God’s love? Have they been encouraging to you?

4) What are some practical ways we live out this “risk-taking” love currently?

5) If you were to describe the Christian’s main calling in life, what would you say? How does the love of Christ and for our neighbors inform your description?
