Discussion QuestionS
Be Imitators
September 20th 2026

Ice Breakers: If someone followed you around for a week and picked up one of your most often used phrases or sayings, what would it be?

1. Receiving correction: Think of the last time someone corrected you at home, work, school, or church. How did you respond? Read Proverbs 15:31–32. What could help you pause, listen, and consider what is true before defending yourself?

2. Correcting with love: Read Galatians 6:1–2. When you need to correct someone, what reveals whether you want to help them or simply express your frustration? Think of a recurring tension with a child, spouse, coworker, or friend. How could you address it with gentleness and a clear desire for their good?

3. The example you give: Paul says, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). If someone copied how you handle stress, speak about difficult people, or respond when you don’t get your way, what would they learn about following Jesus? Choose one habit you want to change this week. What would that change look like?

4. Modeling repentance: Read Matthew 7:3–5. Is there someone who needs to hear you say, “I was wrong. Will you forgive me?” What would it look like to take responsibility without making excuses or pointing out what they did wrong?

5. Learning through relationships: Read Hebrews 10:24–25. Who helps you see what following Jesus looks like in an area where you struggle? What practical step could you take to spend time with and learn from that person—and whom could you invite into your own ordinary life to grow alongside you?

6. Putting faith into practice: Read James 1:22–25. Where is there a gap between what you say you believe and how you live—perhaps in forgiving a family member, serving a coworker, including someone at school, or receiving correction? What specific action will you take this week, and how could this group help you follow through?
