Fashioned Session Eleven: Reverent

Mar 15, 2022    Erin Morris

As Christians we are called to be reverent or respectful to those around us because they bear the image of God. We are also called to respect and submit to those in authority over us. What does it look like to show reverence to others and why should we care to do so?

Join us for session eleven as we examine the standard we are called to, what it practically means to follow it and how we can display reverence for authority even when it is imperfect or even ungodly.

Verses Used:
Romans 13:1-2
Psalm 19:14
Hebrews 13:17
1 Peter 3:1-6
Genesis 12:11-20
Genesis 20:1-18
Philippians 4:8

Discussion Questions:
1. What is reverence? What does it look like, how does it act? How does it not act?
2. Who are we called to be reverent toward?
3. Why are we called to be reverent?
4. Does reverence mean we never speak up? If we disagree with someone in authority over us, how and in what tone should we approach that person?
5. How and why should we be reverent even toward those who are undeserving of our respect?
6. What holds you back from showing reverence or submission to those in authority over you?
