Title: "New Wineskins"

Passage: Luke 5:33-39

Outline:

1. WHAT WE DISCOVER FROM THE MASTER TEACHER. 

2. WHAT DIFFERENCE THIS MAKES. 

1. Why is it important to grasp that Jesus came to bring a new and fresh way of God working with his people? 

2. If we do not grasp the changes that come with Jesus under the New Covenant, what kinds of problems can this create? Give examples. 

3. Often people try and argue that our ethical standards under the New Covenant should be less demanding than under the Old. Why is this wrong? 

4. Since dietary and sacrificial laws in the Old Testament no longer apply to us, why do we still argue that laws about sexual ethics still apply? Is this inconsistent? Why or why not? 

5. What is the biggest discovery you made today about: God? Self or others? How will you obey God this week based on what you discovered? With whom can you share your discoveries?
