1. What do we learn about God from his expectations for how we act in relationships?

2. How does Jesus call us to live the deeper righteousness of God in our relationships and words?

3. Where do you see yourself falling short of Jesus’ kingdom commands?

4. How have your desires changed since coming to Christ about anger, lust, marital faithfulness, truth-telling? Does this reveal any unbelief and disobedience?

5. Why is Jesus’ death, resurrection, and sending of the Spirit good news for you? If you lived by faith in Christ and were led by the Spirit, what changes in your life this week?

Spend time confessing sin, confessing Christ and praying for one another for these things.
