Sermon

The Church in Acts, Part 12: The Disruptive Gospel

March 23, 2025 Jim SuppSermonsActs

The gospel brings division, so we follow Him. We are wired to worship, so we worship Him. When God does not meet our expectations, we trust Him. When we experience suffering, we submit to Him.

The Church in Acts, Part 12: The Disruptive Gospel

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What stood out to you in this message?
  2. How have you seen the Gospel bring division in our world and in your life?
  3. Given that we are wired to worship, what are the things that tempt you to divert your worship away from our Lord?
  4. In that ways has God not met your expectations in your journey with Him?
  5. In what ways has He exceeded your expectations?
  6. In what ways have you developed a theology of suffering? How does that theology need to be modified today?
