DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

1. How did this message change or enhance your understanding of worship?
2. What does it mean to be “free to worship”? What Scripture comes to mind that displays this freedom?
3. Do you keep a few idols in the “closet” of your heart? What are they? How do these idols or “impostors” hinder your worship of the true God?
4. Read Isaiah 45:14-25. Do these verses inspire you to worship? How do they speak to God’s worth, and the worthlessness of idols?
5. In 2 Samuel 24:24, David says, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” Why does our freedom to worship require sacrifice?
6. How can you keep your possessions from possessing you, and thus drawing you away from worship? How can you encourage others to serve God rather than mammon?
7. What are some practical ways you can stretch yourself in being generous to God?
