Life Group Questions for the Week of May 4, 2025

May 4, 2025 |

1. Just for fun, since this week’s sermon landed on “May the 4th be with you,” what is your favorite Star Wars movie or character, and why?

2. Read Luke 6:27-31. As a group, walk through some hypothetical examples of actually responding in these ways to an enemy. How do you imagine these scenarios playing out?

3. How literal do you think Jesus is being in verses 29-30? In what sense may He have been speaking more metaphorically or situationally? Explain. How would you explain what it means to “turn the other cheek”?

4. Read Luke 6:32-34. Jesus seems to make the same point 3 times in a row. What might this tell us about the standard to which He is calling His followers? What would you say is the secret to achieving such a high standard of loving our enemies? (See Colossians 1:29)

5. Read Luke 6:35-36. When it comes to “being kind to the ungrateful and the wicked,” which would you say is the most difficult for you: Loving them, doing good to them, blessing them, or praying for them? Are any of these easier to do?

6. According to verse 35, what are some of the outcomes of living according to God’s Kingdom values and priorities? (See also 1 Peter 3:9 and Ephesians 5:1-2)

7. How do you think loving our enemies relates to Romans 5:10 and Colossians 1:21-22?
