Small Group Discussion

Key Takeaways: “Christ-Like Conduct”

1. Live Quietly: Live quietly and with integrity to earn the respect of non-believers. Draw personal lines to guard your heart against worldly influences
2. Worship Boldly: Be prepared to worship boldly when faith is challenged. Faith is more important than complicated religious rules or knowledge

Discussion Questions:

1. We emphasized the importance of what we’re “known for” rather than what we’re “known as.” How does this apply to your life?
2. Discuss Daniel’s example of living quietly but drawing a line when it came to his faith. Where have you had to draw similar lines in your life?
3. How can we balance “living quietly” with “worshiping boldly” in our daily lives?
4. We mentioned guarding your heart (Proverbs 4:23). What areas of your life do you need to be more intentional about guarding?
5. Reflect on the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. What do his actions teach us about faith and trusting God in difficult circumstances?
6. How can we avoid overcomplicating our faith and return to a simple, childlike trust in God?

Practical Applications:

1. This week, intentionally look for ways to “live quietly” while still maintaining your Christian witness. Share your experiences at the next Group.
2. Identify one area where you need to “draw a line” to protect your faith or values. Commit to taking action on this.
3. Set a daily reminder at 1:27 PM to pray for the church and its mission.
4. Reflect on how you can serve in the church. (e.g., children’s ministry, parking team, etc.).
