March 17, 2019 Sermon Discussion Questions

Get to know me:

Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to generate responses that are self-revealing and informative. Feel free to ask all of these questions to your group or simply choose the one that best fits your group.

1. If you could become friends with any living famous person, who would it be and why?

2. What are good ways to develop meaningful relationships over time?

3. What do you think Scripture means when it talks about producing fruit?

Into the Bible:

Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to draw group members into the Bible to discover truth from passages that were not the primary text for the weekend message.

Read Matthew 13:3-9

1. How would you summarize what this parable is referring to?

2. How does this passage relate to what the sermon referred to as a redneck Christian(someone who goes to church/believes in God, but doesn’t have a relationship with Christ?)

3. Why do you think Jesus talks so much about farming related stories like this one?  What does it teach us about Him?

Application:

Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to apply the main points from the weekend message.

1. What are some ways that you specifically can produce more sweet fruit?

2. What does it look like to abide in Christ?

3. How can your life group help you to produce more fruit or abide more in Christ?
