- Reflecting on Micah 6:8, how can we practically “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly” in our daily lives? Discuss examples where you’ve seen these principles in action or struggled to apply them.
- In the sermon, we are reminded of God’s fairness and blessings. Share a time when you questioned God’s fairness and how you reconciled that with your faith. How do passages like Romans 8:28 help us trust in God’s plan during difficult times?
- The story of Bishop Marmari Emmanuel was highlighted as an example of living out sacrificial love and forgiveness. (Forgiving and loving the one who stabbed him in Sydney this week) Can you think of Biblical figures who demonstrated this kind of love and mercy? (Consider Joseph’s story in Genesis 50:15-21.)

- The sermon invites us to consider how we treat others and whether we act justly in our relationships. Discuss how 1 Peter 3:8-9 guides us in our interactions with others, even when facing unfair treatment ourselves.
- The sermon challenges us to love mercy as God loves mercy. How can we cultivate a heart that loves to show mercy, even when it’s difficult? Look to Matthew 5:7 and Luke 6:36 for insight.
- Walking humbly with God requires a willingness to follow His lead. Share a time when you felt God calling you to take a humble step of faith. How does Proverbs 3:5-6 encourage us in making decisions that honour God’s guidance over our own understanding?
- The Micah Charter Committal Prayer mentioned in the sermon encompasses various aspects of living a life committed to God. What are some commitments you feel called to make or reaffirm in your own life? Consider how Joshua 24:15 might influence your response.
- The sermon ends with a prayer for the Holy Spirit to steer us towards living our values authentically. How do passages like Galatians 5:22-23 describe the fruit of the Spirit that should be evident in our lives when we are guided by Him?
- In the sermon, we’re reminded of the blessings God pours into our lives. How can expressing gratitude, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, impact our perspective on God’s fairness and our response to His gifts?
