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 does the word “Obey” mean to you? 

2. Obedience is easy to define. Why do you think so many church attenders act obedient on Sunday, but act another way the rest of the week? 

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:    Acts 2:37-41

1. Who was Peter speaking to, & what was he saying?

2. Does the command set forth in this scripture still hold true today? 

Application:

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

1. What is the difference between a Cultural Christian & a True Believer? 

2. Why do you think 10% of the Church does 90% of the Serving, Giving, Teaching, Praying & Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

3. Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with ALL (not some) of your heart, soul, strength and mind...” (Luke 10: 27) Is that idea even possible for broken humans to achieve? If not, what is the intention of Jesus’s words here? 

1. What is your next step? 

   1. Surrender… Do you need Jesus, or are you still trying to go it on your own strength?

   2. Repentance… Do you hate your sins? Have you asked for forgiveness & then authentically turned away from them, or are you still secretly enjoying them? 

   3. Baptism… Have you obeyed by publicly declaring your Faith in Jesus?

   4. Sanctification… Are you actively seeking The Holy Spirit’s input regarding your life’s course, or are you doing your own thing?

2. What can we do as a group/church to help you take your next important step?
