Discussion Questions from Church In A Brewery session 7:
1. Discuss the concept of “spiritual cleansing.” What does it mean? Why do you think a person would need to be spiritually cleansed?
2. Why do you think Jesus was only baptised or “spiritually cleansed” once?
3. What does baptism or “spiritual cleansing” have to do with what Jesus taught (repent and believe the good news)?
4. What do you think “The Kingdom of God is at hand” means?
5. Unpack the meaning of Jesus’ message to “repent and believe the gospel.”
Definitions:
Repent: To think differently or afterwards, to reconsider. Change the mind.
Gospel: a “good message” or “good news.”
