Sermon

The Word for the World, Part 2

October 20, 2019 Mike MinterSermonsLuke, Psalms

When we obey God, He not only gives us greater revelation, but He also gives us a greater capacity to understand the revelation. So what excuses do we have for not getting into His Book?

The Word for the World, Part 2

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing about this message that you found particularly encouraging, challenging, or beneficial?
  2. Read and discuss Psalm 1. What is significant here? As the “doorway to the Psalms,” what is Psalm 1 telling us about how to engage with God through His Word?
  3. Note the references to standing, sitting, walking in Psalm 1:1. What is the significance of each of these? How are they related to blessing?
  4. What does it mean to meditate on the Word of God? What are the results of this?
  5. What barriers keep believers from engaging with the Word?
  6. What does it mean to delight in the law of the Lord (Psalm 1:2)? Do you see the Scriptures as something that delights you?
  7. Read and discuss Luke 5:1-5. What stands out to you from Pastor Mikes examples from insight gained through meditation? How do these insights help set the context for the rest of the section (v. 6-11)?
  8. Do you struggle to read your Bible daily? Why? What adjustments do you need to make?
  9. Discuss this statement: When we obey God, He not only gives us greater revelation, but He also gives us a greater capacity to understand the revelation. How have you experienced this?
  10. Spend some time in prayer for the things you’ve discussed. Give thanks to God for the goodness of His Word.
