Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Read Mark 2:1-12

1. What is legalism? Why is legalism dangerous, individually and to the church?
   (Answer: Believing that keeping a list of rules makes you a better, more “spiritual” person. It is also when you enforce your convictions upon others. Danger is when you start believing that you are righteous by what you do, and “enforcing” convictions upon others always causes disunity.)
    
2. What is a creative way you can invite/bring an unsaved/unchurched friend to worship service at HBC?
   (No lying or “bait and switch” allowed!!!)
    
3. How should the church leadership best handle someone who is constantly looking for something to be negative about / complain / criticize? (Note: I’m asking for a friend.)
