SERMON NOTES
I. We are tempted to become defensive when scripture holds its magnifying mirror up to our lives.
II. Your relationship with yourself changes through worship.
III. Worship lifts up the image of Christ and equips us to grow into that image.
FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION
- How often do you look in a mirror over the course of a day?
- Why is our natural response to correction often denial or defensiveness? What is at work inside us when that happens?
- What aspects of worship help us to better see ourselves as God sees us?
- Where are you most resistant to God "meddling" in your life? What's at stake there?
- How is the process of being formed into the image of Christ more like surrender than willpower?
- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
