1. Think of a recent incident in which you got offended. What did you attribute as the primary cause of you feeling offended? What have you learnt from hearing the sermon?

2. What have you learnt about the devil and taking offence? How should this make you feel whenever you are about to take offence?

3. What are some precious things you have lost as a result of taking offence? Why is it not worth it? How much do you want to become a person who is “slow to anger”?

• 1. Having listened to the sermon, examine and explain the real reasons (beyond other peoples’ upsetting words or actions) within yourself as to why you personally get offended by other people.
• 2. How does becoming a Christian address the underlying causes that make us take offence? How have you seen this power working in your life?
• 3. What resources does God provide us with to become increasingly bulletproof people? How can you be more proactive in employing them for your own personal development?

1. Whom do you need to take the initiative to reach out to, so as to be reconciled with? What is stopping you from doing it? What happens if you persist in not doing it?

2. Think about the people who have wronged or hurt you. What can you do to bless them or do good to them? What would give you the strength to want to do it?

3. How does the blood of Jesus speak a better word than the blood of Abel? How does embracing this knowledge empower us to forgive those who have offended us?
