Intro

After pondering the Scripture passage for this week's worship gathering, the staff of Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community put together this spiritual formation kit for groups and individuals to use.

We hope that it will encourage transformation as you encounter God's voice in fresh ways through the Bible; connection as you talk and pray together; and interaction as the sermons become less of a Sunday morning monologue and more of a week-long community conversation.

Reflection Questions
Guide discussion with these questions or ask your own.
What is the difference between fairness and justice?
 
What is this scripture implying about what it means to be equal?
 
When was a time when you felt cheated for your work, or that someone less deserving than you received the same compensation as you? How did it make you feel and why?
 
When is a time when you have felt overwhelming generosity?
 
Why do you think it is that we have harder time accepting things out of grace than when we earn them? Why do we feel uncomfortable with others receiving grace?
 
How would you describe the master in this story? Is that the same or different than how you would describe God?
