Sermon

The Cost of Not Following Jesus, Part 1

January 5, 2020 Mike MinterSermonsMatthew

A cost of not following Jesus is that you will have a restless soul and troubled conscience. People who are at rest have an insatiable desire for the Word, a devoted prayer life, a care-less attitude about the things of this world, and a nonjudgmental spirit toward people who are not as mature as they are.

The Cost of Not Following Jesus, Part 1

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing about this message that you found particularly compelling, encouraging, challenging, or beneficial?
  2. What does the phrase “kingdom of God” mean you you? What is kingdom living? How is kingdom living “upside down”?
  3. Read and discuss Matthew 11:28-30. What is Jesus inviting us to in these verses? Why is this significant?
  4. In what ways is the world “restless”? In what ways do you struggle to rest? How can we find rest for our souls in a restless world?
  5. Have you ever spent time with a person who is at rest in the Lord? What characteristics did you note in their life?
  6. Is resting in Jesus a reality in your life? Why or why not?
  7. What does it cost to follow Jesus? What has it cost you?
  8. Read and discuss Matthew 6:24-26. What is the cost of not following Jesus?
