Grace Upon Grace: Spirituality for Today

Discussion Guide for Grace Upon Grace
Class 3: Chapter 1 ~ The Mystery of Christ, Part 2

1. How do Christians operate as secret agents in this world?

2. Compare and contrast the role of the Old Testament priesthood with the New Testament priesthood of all believers.

3. How does Kleinig encourage us to think more deeply about singing in corporate worship?

4. How do our daily devotions relate to Sunday's Divine Service?

5. Kleinig spent a good amount of time discussing the personal devotional lives of Israel, Jesus, and the church. What do your daily devotions look like? How might this chapter help you do your devotions differently? What could you add? What could you take out?

6. Discuss the implications of this statement: "Yet, this transformation is at present hidden from us and the people around us. Neither they, nor we, can see ourselves as God the Father sees us."

7. How does being heavenly minded impact the way we live here on earth?

8. Kleinig recommended a number of practices to help us foster the mystery of the faith. Which ones stood out to you? Do you have others?

9. Why might the Holy Spirit distract us during worship?
