Hidden In Plain Sight is our animation series exploring God’s heart for the nations throughout the Bible. In this episode, we look at how the cross is the centre of the Bible storyline.
Why not watch the videos with a small group and let them fuel a conversation about sharing the good news of Jesus with others? Here are some discussion questions to get you started:
Discussion Questions
- Picture a couple of landmarks in your culture. In what ways do they compete with the message of the cross?
- Read Col 1:15-20. What does Paul mean in saying “to reconcile to himself all things”?
- To what extent do Paul’s words in Col 1:15-20 shape your understanding of the cross and the mission of God?
Humans have a leaning towards self-centeredness which can lead us to desire comfort. How does the cross challenge our understanding of what it means to participate in God’s mission? To what extent do you prioritise comfort over God’s mission? - Take some time to think about this quote from Chris Wright about the cross and God’s mission…
“All Christian mission flows from the cross — as its source, its power and as that which defines its scope.”[1]
