The Passage: Matthew 5:13

The One Thing: The Judge

Growgroups Discussion Starters



Know

K1 What part of the sermon or passage (Isaiah 9, Jesus as Judge, or “salt of the earth”) stood out to you most, and why?



Grow

G1 We heard that God is 100% love and 100% justice. Which side do you naturally emphasize, and why?

G2 How does it reshape your view of God to hear that His wrath springs from His love? Does this challenge any assumptions?

G3 Isaiah 9 was spoken in the context of war, oppression, and unrest. How does that deepen your understanding of Jesus as Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace?

G4 Where do you see the temptation (in culture or personally) to emphasize either God’s love or God’s justice at the expense of the other?

G5 When you think about cultural shifts (like Bill C-9) that may make Christian conviction uncomfortable or misunderstood, what emotions rise in you?

G6 Jesus calls us the “salt of the earth.” In what ways can Christians lose their saltiness? What does staying salty look like in your world today?

S1 What is one practical, concrete way you can represent both God’s love and God’s justice this week—bringing salt into a situation around you?
