Sermon Discussion Questions

Get to know me

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 has been your most meaningful or transformative experience while studying the Bible? Can you share more about what you learned or how it impacted you?

  2. What do you enjoy most about studying the Bible? Is there anything that you find particularly challenging or difficult, and how do you approach those struggles?

Into the Bible

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

Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17

  1. What is the significance of the fact that scripture is "breathed out by God"?

  2. What does the verse mean when it says that scripture is "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness"? How should believers use scripture in these ways, and what are the implications of doing so?

Application

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

  1. Read Psalm 1:1. How would you make each of these negative statements positive? "walks not in the counsel of the wicked", "stands in the way of sinners", "sits in the seat of scoffers"

  2. Read Psalm 1:2. What does the verse mean when it says that the person who delights in the law of the Lord "meditates on it day and night"? How does this practice of meditating on scripture differ from simply reading or studying it?

  3. Read Psalm 1:3. How would you explain the metaphor in v.3 as it relates to v.2?
