Built to Connect – A Proper View of a God Connection

On Sunday Pastor David talked about how the scriptures clearly say that Jesus was without sin but no where in the Bible does it talk about Jesus being perfect. What are your thoughts about that statement and do you agree or disagree? A key to this question is establishing a working definition of the word “perfect”.
Scripture: Philippians 3:12-16

Discussion Topics:

1. Read and discuss Philippians 3:12-16. Here is a list of questions that you may want to ask in order to get conversations started.
   – What is this scripture saying to us?
   – What is it calling us to and warning us of?
   – What are some things that you can not forget that are behind you?
   – Where are the places that the Holy Spirit is calling you to strain towards?
2. Where in your life do you put up a false front, a fake face or a projection of perfection, but you in fact know that you are not? Would you be willing to tell your NavGroup who the real you is and allow them the chance to accept you in all your faults?
3. Pastor David was quoted as saying, “I have come to the conclusion that when it comes to God’s relationship with mankind that God views our redemption as more beautiful than our perfection”. What are your thoughts about this statement and how would you say this in your own words?
