​Things to Consider: (Feel free to read Scripture passages that God brings to mind as you work through these questions)

1. What about the sermon challenged, encouraged, or confused you? What, if anything, would you like further clarification on?
2. ​How do the wicked behaviors that Paul mentions stem from a position of want, lust, greed, or dissatisfaction?
   
3. What Scriptures support the idea that God would want us to love even those members of churches who do not align with the true children of God by walking in love?
   
4. How do you think SBC can partner with God’s children while still loving those we choose not to partner with? Give a true-to-life example.
   
5. Read Matthew 18:15-20. Whether it’s missing mark (sinning) in word, deed, or doctrine, what is the goal in addressing such behavior with others?
   
6. Why do you suppose many Christians fail to address sin with a Matthew 18 process and what do they do, instead?
