MY APPLICATION

Use the following questions this week to reflect on what it would mean to align yourself with the truths taught in

Scripture. Each question is meant for both personal reflection and as a catalyst for discussion with your family, friends, or

small group.

1. Have you ever found yourself bowing to peer pressure

to fit in? Explain. Why does that happen even in Christian groups?

2. Read Galatians 2:11-14. Are you surprised that Peter

bowed to the pressure of approval? (See Acts 10) What warning should we take from this?

3. In Galatians 2:20, Paul explains why Jesus frees us from

both the law and from sin. How would you explain this using your own words?

4. If we are living “by faith in the Son of God,” how should

we respond to the Coronavirus outbreak?

MEMORY VERSE

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the

Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20
