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. Have you ever invested in something that turned out to be a total counterfeit?

2. We live in a world where every advertisement you see is a deception, most people are false & what once was solid ground is now shifting sand….What keeps you rooted?

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: 2 Thessalonians 2: 8-12

1. What are some of the deceptions you see Satan using in the world today to direct people away from God?

2. Who and How will “Lawless ones” be dealt with?

3. So, what is the purpose of Satan’s rebellion against God?

Application:

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

1. Explain what the term discernment means. 

2. What tools do you have at your disposal, to help you fully understand God’s will and avoid satan’s traps? 

3. In today’s sermon we learned how God has marked His true people, & how Satan the deceiver has copied that. What do the numbers 777 & 666 mean? How does that apply?

4. If God has marked you with Salvation, can Satan change that mark? Why?

5. So, now that we have talked about the Imposter that Satan is…what one thing would you like to do this week to walk more authentically with God?
