The Authority of Scripture, Part 1 – Wise Unto Salvation

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What is one thing about this message that challenged, encouraged, or helped you?
  2. What are some things that the Bible does that no other book or person can do?
  3. What blocks your desire from getting into the Word of God? How does the world try to pull us away from engaging with the Scripture?
  4. The Bible uses many metaphors to describe itself, including the list below. Choose a few of these and discuss what we can learn about God’s Word from them.
    • Water (Ephesians 5:26)
    • Fire (Jeremiah 5:14)
    • Light (Psalm 119:130)
    • Sword (Ephesians 6:17)
    • Seed (Luke 8:11)
    • Food (Hebrews 6:5)
    • Hammer (Jeremiah 23:29)
    • Mirror (James 1:23)
    • Lamp (Psalm 119:105)
    • Gold (Psalm 19:10)
    • Anchor (Hebrews 6:19)
    • Honey (Psalm 119:103)
  5. How does Scripture make us “wise unto salvation” (2 Timothy 3:15)? What does it mean to be saved?
  6. Spend some time praying that God would increase your desire to seek Him and know Him through His Word this year.
