Discussion/Evaluation Questions from Yesterday's Messages

In yesterday's messages, I begin a four-part series entitled "Becoming a Word-Driven Community."

The morning message (click here to listen, watch, and/or download the outline) focused on Colossians 3:16 and 2 Timothy 3:16.
Below are a few questions to help you further think through these truths.

1. The fact that the whole of the Bible has been "breathed out by God" means every word of it is from God Himself. How should this change the way we treat the Bible? Is this the way God has ordained for us to know Him?

2. Why is it important that we understand that the whole of the Bible points to the Person and Work of Jesus Christ?

3. According to 2 Corinthians 3:18, how does one change into the image of Christ? What does this mean we need to do with our Bible's?

4. For you personally, how can you intentionally "let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly"?

5. How are you actively obeying Colossians 3:16 and 2 Timothy 3:16 and Matthew 28:19-20 as it relates to 'teaching' and 'admonishing' and 'correcting' and 'training' and 'reproofing' and 'encouraging' and 'discipling' others?

6. How can you use the outlines Bro. Matt provides for WBC on Sundays with yourself? With your family? With a new believer? With a friend? With a co-worker?

7. How do you need to pray according to these scriptural truths?




Sunday night's message was a walk through Psalm 1. Below are questions to help think through the truths presented from the message:

1. What does it mean to be 'blessed' (see Numbers 6:24-26).

2. How does one get to be blessed according to Psalm 1:1-2?

3. What adjustments can be made in your life to go from being influenced by the world (verse 1) to being one who 'delights in' and 'meditates on' the Word day and night?

4. What specific actions can you take to meditate on the Word of God throughout the day?

5. What are the benefits to doing verse 2 (see verse 3!)? What does the psalmist mean when he says, "In all that he does, he prospers"?

6.. What is a 'wicked' person according to Psalm 1?

7. How is Jesus the Ultimate Rescuer according to Psalm 1:5-6?

8. How do you need to pray according to the truths presented in this psalm?
