Scripture: Matthew 27:11-26

Discussion Questions:

1. What aspects of biblical Christianity cause it to be offensive in the eyes of the world? How might a believer needlessly cause offense?

2. What idols must you be on guard against? Left unchecked, how might those idols leave you enslaved?

3. Where is the balance (if there is one) between pleasing people and pleasing God? Consider 1 Corinthians 10:31-33 in your answer.
