Coming Out
About This Series
The modern view of religion is that it is fine to have your personal religious beliefs so long as you keep them to yourself, and never suggest that religion has something to say about how society ought to be run. This series addresses the inherent contradictions and unworkability of such a view, and explains why Christians should speak out confidently about their faith.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- 1. How did Jesus set out to change this world and make it a better place? How is it different from the way other people try to do it?
- 2. What is your attitude towards serving other people when there is no tangible benefit or reward for yourself? What more is God asking you to do to serve others?
- 3. How much do you feel the need to be recognised by people? How upset do you get when you are unappreciated, forgotten or criticised, despite your efforts? What does your response reveal?
- 4. What might be some inconveniences, discomfort, costs or disruptions that you decline to take on even though you know it would benefit the people around you? How does Jesus’ sacrifice for you speak to your reluctance?
