First listen to the sermon (posts Sun. afternoon). Then use the ideas below to help you and your group apply what the Lord is teaching you. Icebreaker idea: What is your favorite taste (food, beverage, flavoring, etc.)?

A way to pray: Pray that we would continue to grow in knowing and showing God's goodness through our thoughts, words, and actions.

For discussion:

• Treasuring God: How does this week’s passage help me “taste” that the Lord is good?
• Being Transformed: How can we proclaim God’s excellencies using our words and our actions? What step will I take this week?
• Loving Others: Why is it an act of love toward unbelievers when we keep our conduct honorable among them?
• Pursuing Unity: What does it mean practically for us to be built up as a spiritual house and a holy priesthood? What part do I play?
