Chapter 4

 

Teaching Activities

 

Make an “anonymous confession box” and have everyone in your study write down something they want to confess and put in the box. Tell everyone that confessions will be destroyed without anyone looking at them. Discuss how confession (even anonymous confession) can help people deal with sin.

 

Have members of the group share brief moments of salvation they have experienced or observed. Do these stories reflect slow or fast views of how God’s grace works?

 

The cross is a central image in Christianity. Ask people to describe different crosses they have seen. What do these different crosses communicate about Jesus and salvation?
