●    POISONED BY PREJUDICE

●    WRONG APPREHENSION OF GLORY

    ○    [Question for Discussion] How much does “the Glory” of Jesus wow us, compared to earthly attractions and influences? What do ‘eyes of the world’ tempt you to glory or boast in?

●    WRONG APPRAISAL OF THE RICH

    ○    Can you think of examples of people you’ve known who weren’t rich materially but were ‘rich in faith’ despite tough circumstances?

●    WRONG APPROACH TO THE LAW

    ○    How can we in the church not only be upholding God’s laws, but also ‘loving our neighbour’ in practical, non-patronizing ways?

●    WRONG APPRECIATION OF MERCY

    ○    When was a time someone showed you mercy when you’d blown it?

●     HELPING, NOT FORCING, THE POOR TO STAND
