Sermon Questions

The King’s Family (Week One)

May 4, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lauryn Carver

This is the first week of our sermon series titled “The King’s Family”. This first message that Pastor Jeremy brought is filled with significant foundational truths for this series. Taking that into account, we would encourage to go back and listen to the message again to grasp these foundational truths and then process through the three questions below.

1 – If Jesus is my King, then He has ultimate authority in my life. Does King Jesus have full authority in your life? In all aspects of your life or is there a portion that you are holding onto?

2 – If Jesus is my King, then this world is not my home. Do you live as though this world is not your home?

3 – If Jesus is my King, then I belong to “the King’s family”. Do you live in a way that honors your Royal Family?

Are You Kidding Me (Week 1)

April 13, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

This is the first week of our sermon series titled “Are you kidding me”. When you think back, are there a couple of situations where God has shown up in a big way to see you through where it left you saying “are you kidding me” – God did that for me?

Pastor Jeremy outlined 6 things that Jesus did after the resurrection. Look through each of these accounts and discuss your thoughts on each.

1 – appeared to women (Matthew 28:1-10)

2 – appeared to his disciples (Luke 24:36-48)

3 – appeared to Thomas (John 20:24-29)

4 – restored Peter (John 21)

5 – commissioned his disciples (Matthew 28:16-20)

6 – ascended to heaven (Mark 16:19)

Of the 6 things noted above, what do you feel is the most “are you kidding me” on the list? Why?

Do you fully know and understand that God has a purpose for you today? What are some of those purposes that God has called you to?

I am with Jesus (Easter Sunday)

April 6, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

What in your life is broken that does not need to stay broken?

The big idea from his week’s message is that I am with Jesus in LIFE.

The word LIFE was used as an acronym as follows:

L – living not just existing

I – in relationship with Jesus

F – Freedom from brokenness

E – Eternal home

From the four letters in the acronym, which one can you currently relate to the most? Is there one that you struggle with?

Did Jesus die for everyone? (1 John 2:1-2, John 3:16)

Have you placed your faith in Jesus? Can you confidently say that “I am with Jesus”?

If you recently started your walk with Jesus, have you considered baptism?

I am with Jesus (week 6)

April 6, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

This week’s big idea is that we experience joy when we are with Jesus. What is your joy level (percentage)?

Explain the difference between joy and happiness?

The three main points of this message were that JOY can be experienced in all situations, JOY is refined under pressure and JOY is awakened when victory is realized through loss. From these three main points, is there one that you currently identify with? Explain what that is and why.

How does joy come from hardships?

What are some of the things that tend to steal your joy (joy robbers)?

Stick with Jesus, walk with Jesus and experience JOY. How is your JOY and how near are you to Jesus?

I am with Jesus (week 4)

March 24, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

Pastor Randy made the statement; “In the plan of God, He wants to take you to that place where you have to say that this is all I can stand and I can’t stand no more”. Why do you think God takes us or allows us to get to that point?

Do you have a situation in your life currently where you “can’t stand no more”? If so, then process through it with the understanding that as long as you are with Jesus then you will make it.

What is your initial response when faced with high demand and little resource?

John 6 tells the story of the young boy who willing gave what he had to feed the multitudes. How does that relate to your life? Do you live a generous lifestyle? If not, then what holds you back from that?

The biggest question of the day; are you really with Jesus? Have you experienced His grace and His love? If not, then what is holding you back from that? Please don’t hesitate to reach out to a Christian friend or StoneWater church and have them guide you through what it means to say “I am with Jesus”.

I am With Jesus (week 3)

March 15, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

Pastor Mike outlined some scriptures that he noted that he wasn’t fond of and are difficult for us to understand (see below for examples). From this list of portions of scripture which ones are most difficult for you personally?

Statements I’m not fond of:

· Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute

· If you get hit in the face because of your faith, let them hit you again

· Give to those who unfairly demand of you (clothes or time)

· Go a second mile even though you are only obligated to go one

· You’re blessed when you’re persecuted

· If you want a great life, you must be the servant/slave of all

2) It was stated that there are 3 steps (give up, take up and get going) that we can take to stay connected to Him (Jesus) regardless. With that in mind:

How do we Give up and Take up what Jesus said to Give up and Take up, so we keep going regardless?

3) There were 5 ways to be washed in the word of God that are listed below. How are you applying each of these to your life?

· Read it daily

· Memorize it regularly

· Study it consistently

· Meditate on it constantly

· Practice it faithfully

4) With our lives being washed in the word of God, how is your being washed effecting those around you? Is there someone in particular that you are impacting? Likewise, is there someone that is impacting you?

5) Are you connected in community within the church body? If not, what is holding you back?

I am With Jesus (Week 1)

February 27, 2021/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lara Whidden

1. Pastor Joey listed 7 problem areas that people face that sometimes causes them to turn away from following Jesus.

Have you struggled with one of these? How did you overcome it?

I’M WITH JESUS UNTIL…

1. DEATH of a spouse, child, parent, or friend.
2. DIVORCE because of an affair or because I fell out of love.
3. DREAMS are lost. Lost job, lost my business, lost hope for future.
4. DISEASE- Cancer diagnosis. Chronic pain. Trauma or Accident.
5. DAMAGED- Relationships, abuse, abandonment, betrayal.
6. DESERTED by God, spouse, dad, mom, or friends.
7. DESTINY- I am not where I want to be in this stage of my life.

2. Read John 6:22-71. The crowd of disciples were offended by Jesus’ teaching and they left.

I’m with Jesus UNTIL I am offended.

John 6:61 (NLT) Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?

John 6:66-67 (NLT) At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”

John 6:68-69 (NLT) Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”

3. Pastor Joey used an illustration about making allowance for other people’s faults. He used a money jar showing how much God has forgiven us and how we should be prepared to forgive others.

Why is it difficult to forgive? Are you struggling to forgive anyone? Are you offended at God?

Colossians 3:13 (NLT) Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

4. Pastor Joey concludes by giving people a time to forgive people and to once and for all restore your relationship back to God if you have been offended at Him.

Explain what was going on with you. How would life be better if you could forgive and be restored to God?

Do I trust that God is in control? What areas of my life do I need to trust more? When do I worship?

To be a worshiper you must have a relationship with Jesus. There are times that we should praise and there are times to also lament.

Psalms 145, 61

Sunday, March 15

Worship will go on for eternity. How am I preparing now, to worship God for eternity?
Does my call to worship God start when I wake up each day or does it just happen when I feel like it? What is my call to worship?
Worship involves warfare. Worship is a weapon. How do I use worship in a time of battle?

Psalms (Week 1)

March 8, 2020/in CG Sermon Questions /by Lauryn Carver

I am a worshiper! There is a difference in Praise and Worship. Praise is an expression of respect or gratitude as an act of worship. Worship is the demonstration of value or worth to God.

Psalms 92:1-5

Sunday, March 8

What do I praise as an expression of my worship? Is my highest praise to GOD?
How do I view worship? Is it often based on my circumstances and feeling? What will I do to remember that God is always worthy of my worship? How do I know this is true?
When do I worship? How will I make worshiping God my lifestyle?
