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 are your plans for the Thanksgiving Holiday this year? (Group leaders, if you have any singles or people with no plans, do what you can to connect those in need of fellowship with willing families.)

  2. What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

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:    Luke 6: 43-45

  1. Thanksgiving is a time of great harvest. What is God telling us here in Luke 6 about how & what we harvest?

  2. Our “Spiritual Fruit” shows what kind/quality of tree we are.How does the fruit we produce, reflect what is inside our hearts?

Application:

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

  1. A person who is truly grateful, will go to great lengths to repay the kindness that has been shown to them. What are some important ways we can show God our gratitude for creating us & sending Jesus to save us? 

  2. Outside of your own children, what does it look like to share the Gospel? (i.e. at work, the store, gym)

Exercise: (Leaders please ask this question, & allow the group a few minutes to meditate & respond. Be sure to save 10min for the group to discuss this exercise at the end.)

How we yield spiritual fruit, says a lot about our relationship with Papa? Are you satisfied with your spiritual harvest in 2021? 

Has the Fruit of your life demonstrated gratitude for the amazing grace you have been given? 

What would you like to do differently or better in 2022?
