September 13, 2020 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. What is the CRAZIEST thing you have seen or dealt with in our new  “United States of Crazy” over the last few months?  

  2. The Political and Social Climate of our entire planet is rapidly changing. How is that affecting the way you interact with people? 

  3. Contrast the difference between Civil Disobedience as taught by Dr. Martin Luther King, & the Riots we are seeing in the streets of many of our big Cities today. 

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 Romans 12:1&2

  1. What does it mean to offer ourselves (live life) in a way that is pleasing to God?

  2. Conforming to the World View we face today will keep us from being close to God...what has to happen to become truly Transformed? 

  3. Once a person chooses Christ, we often see huge changes in their life…Christians call the results of that new lifestyle “Spiritual Fruit”, what do you think it means to bear fruit? 

Application:

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

  1. How do we love the People of this World (both Christian and NonChristian), while not buying into, or falling in love with the current “World Views”? 

  2. We each have battled against the desires of the flesh/eyes/pride, What habits or practices have helped you to become transformed? 

  3. Considering the fact that the “World is passing away”, where & how is it best to invest our resources. 

  4. In light of this study, what do you see as your biggest growth opportunity? What can your group or mentor do to help you in the process?
