榮神益人 Glorify God and Favorable to Men
我們必須意識到，我們作為信徒的行為能使人在聖靈上跌倒或轉移他們尋求神的注意力。本週，張國強牧師提醒我們要怎樣使用我們的自由來造就別人以及榮耀真神。
Our actions as believers can cause others to stumble or distract them from seeking God. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us to use our freedom in ways that build up others and bring glory to God.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Who is someone you admire for living like Christ in their daily life? What specific actions or behaviors do they exhibit that you find inspiring?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. What is the main principle that needs to govern all of our actions, including in grey areas?
• Does v.33 mean that Paul is just a people-pleaser? What is this verse teaching us?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Examine yourself: Do you consider the impact your decisions have on others? What are your usual motivations when making decisions?
• Have you ever wrongly applied your freedom? What factors do you think influenced how you lived out your freedom and responsibility?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• How can you glorify God in your daily interactions and decisions, particularly in how you treat others?
• What practical steps can you take this week to ensure that your actions build up others in faith and do not cause them to stumble?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise God for His boundless grace and steadfast love. Thank Him for the freedom we have in Christ, that through His sacrifice, we are united at His table in communion. Give thanks for the privilege to glorify Him by building others up and avoiding anything that may cause stumbling.
• Ask for forgiveness for the times you have not considered how your actions affect others, especially in matters of freedom and faith. Repent for any selfishness or lack of sensitivity that may have caused fellow believers to stumble or hindered their spiritual growth. Pray that you may receive wisdom to walk in love and build others up as you imitate Christ.
