Discussion Questions from 03/14/2010 Sermons at WBC


Yesterday at WBC, I preached from Luke 16:9-15 in the morning, and Romans 8:31-39 in the evening.


You can watch or listen and download outlines here.


Discussion Questions from the AM Message:


1. Write out Luke 16:9 in your own words.


2. What does it mean to serve God according to Luke 16:13? What's the relationship between serving God and serving money?


3. What is Jesus' point in Luke 16:10?


4. What is your personal financial strategy for making disciples of all nations?


5. According to Luke 16:11-12, what is the eternal fate of those who are not intentional about using their present financial resources to make disciples of all nations?


6. If you were to die today, or if Jesus were to come back today, would it be obvious that you serve God? Or would it be obvious that you serve money?


7. What evidence is there in your spending and in your personal financial budget that you will be entrusted with true riches in the age do come?


8. What are you going to do about your responses to these questions?



Discussion Questions from the PM Message:


1. Why is Paul left (almost) speechless (see verse 31)?


2. Go through the list of questions Paul asks in these verses. What are the answers to each question?


3. What seems to be Paul's main point in these verses?


4. Who are these promises for?


5. After contemplating these verses, which part of this passage is most encouraging? Why?


6. What does Paul mean by "more than conquerors" in verse 37?


7. What does all this say about God's love for you? Who took the initiative in loving you? Did you prove to God you are worthy of loving before He chose to love you? Do you think your actions now, then, can cause God to love you less? What is God's love for you based on?


8. How does knowing this about God's love for you prompt a radical lifestyle? What are some ways you can adjust your lifestyle or some risks you can now that you know God's love for you is eternally fixed?
