Questions for Reflection
- In what ways does our church community currently affirm the dignity of individuals who are marginalized or overlooked in society? How can we improve in this area?
- Reflecting on the five actions of Jesus—seeing, speaking with, providing for, calming fears, and calling into community—how well does our congregation embody these practices in our outreach and ministry efforts?
- Consider a recent interaction you had with someone seeking support or guidance. Did you fully see and acknowledge their humanity? How might you change your approach in future encounters?
- How can we measure the effectiveness of contemporary Christian movements in light of Jesus’ example? Which movements demonstrate genuine care and concern for others, and which objectify or alienate those they aim to serve?
- Who in your life might be calling you to see and support them more intentionally? What specific actions can you take to build a loving relationship with them based on the example set by Jesus?
