Sermon

James: Living Out Our Faith, Part 3

October 4, 2015 Mike MinterSermonsJames

When the church doesn't listen to the world, the world doesn't listen to the church. Listening is a platform for evangelism, and often listening speaks more than speaking does.

James: Living Out Our Faith, Part 3

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing you found particularly interesting, insightful, helpful or difficult to understand from this sermon?
  2. What are some good things you have from the Lord? Are there some things in your life from the Lord that you would categorize as "good but difficult"?
  3. Read and discuss James 1:16-21. What do these verses tell us about us? What do they tell us about God? What do you note about the Word of God in these verses?
  4. What does being swift to hear and slow to speak have to do with wrath or anger?
  5. What is the correlation between anger and immorality?
  6. Why to we have the tendency to "talk above" others? How have you seen this in culture & society? How have you seen it in your own life?
  7. Referring to the previous question, what implications does this have for the church?
  8. Read and discuss 1 Peter 2:21-25. How does Jesus provide an example about how we are to conduct ourselves in speaking and listening? How does the gospel empower us to this end?
  9. How can you cultivate the grace of listening? Is there a specific person or situation where you need to do this? Spend some time in prayer about this.
