Interact/Small Group Questions

1. How do Christians judge one another regarding Sunday as the Sabbath? (v. 16)

2. In verse 17, what is meant by “shadows” of things to come? Do we still have some rituals in the church that miss the reality of Jesus Christ?

3. Read verses 18-19. Do you know anyone like this? Have you ever been guilty of this kind of behavior?

4. In verse 20, what is meant by “the elemental spiritual forces of this world?” What does it mean to “die” to them?

5. Developing personal restrictions and rules to help us live the Christian life is natural, but verse 23 says that lack value in restraining sensual indulgence. Do you agree?

6. How do we discern between rules and restrictions based “merely on human commands and teachings,” and those God has put in place for the benefit of mankind?
