#20 “Jesus is Enough”

Colossians 3:20-21

These questions are based on Colossians 3:20-21 and the sermon preached on 10/11/26 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

 Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Colossians 3:20-21

1.What stood out to you most from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2.According to v.20, what is the ultimate reason children should obey their parents? How should that reality shape how we parent our children? 

3.Read Ephesians 6:1-3. The command of “Honor your father and mother” comes with a promise. What is the promise and practically what might it look like in the life of our children? From a spiritual and practical standpoint, why should we want our children to obey us?

4. In v.21, Parents are told to not “exasperate” their children. Of the 6 different examples of ways parents might “exasperate” their children, which one are/were you most prone to do? Which did you most often experience from your parents when you were a child? The examples were: Constant Criticism, Irritable, Inconsistency, Distant and Distracted, Identity and Law over Grace.

5. What are some practical ways we can fight those tendencies in our parenting?

6. Spend some time praying for the families represented in the group and the families of Crossroads Church?
