Discussion Guide
This week marks the conclusion of our four-week series, I’m So Glad You Asked—a journey through some of the most challenging and thought-provoking questions we encounter in our faith. Throughout the series, we’ve tackled questions that many wrestle with quietly, and this final week is no exception. We’re ending with a foundational question: “What is morality?” This conversation is essential, especially in a culture where definitions of right and wrong are constantly shifting. As we seek clarity, we turn to God’s Word, which remains unchanging and true.
What you will need: A Bible or your Bible app, a notebook, pen, and highlighter. The verses highlighted below are linked so that you can easily access them during your study time.
Jump Start
1. Did you ever ask one parent for something and, not liking their answer, go ask the other? Now think about a TV show or movie from your past—one that wasn’t controversial then but is now. Why do you think cultural views have changed?
2. Read 2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 1:16-17. How would you define morality? Have you ever felt hesitant or ashamed to talk about what the Bible says on a particular topic? How do these verses challenge and encourage you to trust God’s Word as the authority in your life?
3. Read Romans 1:18-32. What happens to our thinking and hearts when we choose not to honor or give thanks to God? This passage can feel uncomfortable—why do you think that is? Who ultimately gets to define what is moral?
4. Read Galatians 6:1, Luke 6:32. Imagine a child with a splinter—how would you get it out? Have you ever encountered someone who was a “jerk for Jesus” sharing biblical truth with no love, grace, or compassion? What do these verses teach us about how we should treat others when we speak truth?
5. Action Steps: This week ask God to show you where your understanding of morality may need to align more closely with His Word rather than the sifting standards of culture.
*Maybe you love God but wrestle with some of His teachings. Read Isaiah 55:8-9 and pray for deeper trust in His wisdom.
*Or maybe you need to grow in gentleness and compassion as you speak truth to others. Ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate humility and love in your conversations.
*Let this week serve as both a challenge and an encouragement to live by God’s standards with unwavering conviction, and to love others with Christ-like grace.
