Scripture: Luke 6:17–26

Sermon Discussion Questions

1. When you hear the word "blessed," what kinds of things normally come to mind? How does Jesus’ definition of blessing in this passage challenge or correct that?

2. What is dangerous about being "rich," "full," "laughing," or "well-spoken of" according to Jesus? How can we live in light of these "woes" without falling into asceticism?

3. What is one practical step of obedience, repentance, or faith you feel led to take in light of this text?
