Discussion Questions:

1. What kind of lifestyle is God calling for in these verses? Why do you think God gave such strongly worded imperative commands?
2. What’s the correlation between having peace with God through Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:1; Phil. 4:7) and having peace with fellow believers (Col. 3:12-14)? How is Christ’s peace like an umpire?
3. What does it take for the Word of Christ to make its home abundantly in your heart and in a church? What is the outflow according to verse 16?
4. How does yielding to the Lordship of Christ affect everything a Christian does? What are some practical outworking’s you have seen evidence of in your heart, in your home, and in God’s household? What good things would you like to see evidence of?
