3 For Reflecting and Discussing As you spend time reading the Bible, praying, interacting with others, consider the following discussion prompts. What emotions do you experience when you talk about this subject? Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 again. What specifically challenges you from that text? How do you react/respond to what Leonard shared in regard to an LGBTQ person s message to the church? For Committing I will name (write down/share with someone) my fears related to this subject I will find someone to speak with, instead of speaking about someone (I will stop gossiping) I will listen more and speak less I think I m gay. Sunday, March 4, 2018 We need to talk. Do not conform but be transformed. Romans 12:1-2
