To help you apply the sermon here are some questions to talk over with your friends and family.
1. Have you ever had a bad car trip? What happened?
2. Have you ever been hurt by the church? What was it like? Why did you feel hurt?
3. Jesus warns us not to spend time on the specks in our neighbor's eyes, but to deal with the planks in our own. So, how are you tempted to sin against others? What is it in your heart or life that prevents you from opening your heart?
4. Martin Luther said that Jesus, in a glorious exchange, has taken all of our sin and guilt from us and given us his righteousness and eternal home. This is a promise for you! Discuss how this might shape your view of forgiveness.
