REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

What have you learned so far in our series on the Apostles’ Creed? Do you agree that it can be a helpful tool for Christians? If so, how?

How might acknowledging the mysteries of God and approaching our beliefs with humility help us grow in our faith?

What can we learn from the story of Jesus’s ascension? What can it teach us about God, or about Jesus?

Do you ever fear God’s judgment? Talk more about that: where does that fear come from? How can our beliefs about Jesus help?

How does pursuing a servant's heart and focusing on loving others more relate to justice and prepare us for judgment?

Is it really possible to look forward to judgment? How is Jesus’s judgment good news for us, or for the world?
