Life Group Notes for Sunday 31 January – Malachi 3:1-5

Big idea from the message: God has sent Jesus as his messenger to reveal God’s great salvation for his people once and for all.

The Christian who loves salvation …

1. Seeks the Lord
2. Delights in Jesus and His message
3.  Lives in remembrance of HIs incarnation
4. Looks noticeably different
5. Takes joy in sanctification
6. Increasingly reflects the Lord in their life
7. Desires to worship the Lord
8. Worships God in Spirit and in Truth
9. Tells others of God’s good grace
10. Shows love to those in need

Discussion questions:

1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. How does God feel about salvation? (Answer: God’s love is God’s salvation). How do you feel about salvation?
3. Salvation has three perspectives: Set free from sin (PAST), we are growing in Christ (PRESENT), we are going to be with Christ (FUTURE).
   1. How does God use trials to refine and strengthen our present faith? What is the purpose?
4. Salvation occurs firstly from the inside. Why does God change us from the inside out and not the outside in? How does this change our relationship with / how we approach God?
5. How has Jesus changed your life?
6. How can we pray for you?
