Questions for the Community

Devoted to Learning  

1. Read 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 out loud. Explain in your own words what is being said. 
2. Review the 4 truths about ambassadors from Sunday. Which one is most impactful to you? Do any of these need further clarification?
3. How is our identity wrapped up in our work as ambassadors for Christ? 
4. What freedom comes with orienting your life around this AMBASSADOR title God provides? Consider how it affects your appointments and frustrations this week.

Devoted to one another

5. Notice all of the “we” language in this passage. You are an ambassador individually but are part of a team. What are the implications of this?
6. As a church family, we get to practice reconciliation with one another even as we work toward that with lost people. How is that going for you?

Devoted to praying

5. Review the ‘facts of the gospel’ here in our passage (HINT: read the whole chapter for even more). Commit to leaning on these facts from God as you share life and good news wherever you go. 
6. Pray for the lost to come home. A huge part of our ambassador authority rests in prayer! That is, crying out to God on behalf of rebellion in our own soul, our family, our church, our city.
