K1 What did God say to you through today’s teaching?

Grow
G1 Why do you think two enemies (Pharisees and Herodians) came together to trick Jesus? What was it about Jesus that threatened both of these (very different) groups?
G2 What might be an issue from today’s world / culture where Christians might feel “caught between a rock and a hard place”?
G3 “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s”. What does being a good citizen mean to today’s Christians (particularly in Canada)?
G4 22:20 | Jesus said that the “image and description” of the denarius gave clues as to WHO the coin belonged to. In what way do you have God’s “image and inscription” that shows that you are his?
G5 How is Romans 13:1-7 helpful in considering what our duties are to the state / province? Focus on verse 7 and verse 8 – what would Canada look like if we truly tried to live this out?
G6 1 Cor 3:21-23 | What does Paul MEAN when he says “Everything is yours. You belong to Christ. Christ belongs to God”.
