There are always cultural pressures that tempt us to deny Jesus. III. Denying Jesus results in more grief than freedom. FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION - What's your favorite farm animal noise? - What are some of the things people may notice about someone who has spent time with Jesus? Is that always true? - Why might someone imagine that following Jesus now is less scandalous than it was 2000 years ago? Why is it still scandalous? - What do we fear when we choose not to share our relationship with Christ? How does love help us overcome those fears? - Who needs to know that you've spent time with Jesus? How will you overcome fear to acknowledge Christ this week? - What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
