G1 Why is adoption such a powerful image of spiritual transformation?
G2 What struck you about Krista and Michael’s testimony of adoption?
G3 Even though God has adopted us, why do we struggle to live like it? How do you think this makes Father God feel?
G4 Rom 8:14-17 | In what way do these verses highlight the truth that as adopted children of God, the worst is behind us?
G5 Dan said that God is not just interested in getting us into his family, but about getting his family (values, priorities) into us. How does he do this and how are we changed as a result?
G6 Rom 8:18-19 | What is Paul trying to achieve by comparing the sufferings of this world with the glories awaiting us in the next?
G7 Romans 8:20-25 | What images or tools does Paul use to encourage us to remain faithful while we are waiting? How does the image of an airport help us maintain the posture of waiting?

S1 If God is your Father, place your certificate of adoption (handed out in the service) in a place you can regularly see it (on your mirror, in your Bible etc). Take time each time you see it to thank God for adopting. If he has not yet, why not invite him to?
