Our New Humanity

Discussion Questions:

1) Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

2 Paul commands the Gentiles to "remember" their former condition before Christ as a first and fundamental act. What is a specific area of your life where remembering where you came from has shaped how you treat others?

3) It's easy to believe intellectually that we were saved by grace while still functionally living as if we've earned our place with God. What does that subtle entitlement look like in daily life, and how do you recognize it in yourself?

4) Paul distinguishes between breaking down a wall and making peace, arguing that walls fall all the time without real peace following. Where do you see people around you pursuing unity without any actual basis for it, and what does the church have to offer that the world doesn't?

5) The sermon named specific walls the church tends to build: generational, ethnic, political, cultural. Which of those feels most real or most challenging in your own experience of Christian community?

6) If the gospel is genuinely good news, a celebration that the war is over, how would that change the posture you bring when sharing your faith with someone who has been hurt by the church or has walked away from it?
