SERMON QUESTIONS
It is our deep conviction that the Bible is not just to be listened to (Deut. 6:4), but studied (2 Tim. 2:15), meditated upon (Ps 1:2), memorized (Ps. 119:11), and, ultimately, applied to our lives (James 1:22). Because of this, our Bible studies revolve around the study, meditation, memorization, and application of God’s inspired Word to our lives. Below are sermon questions that correspond to our Sunday morning teaching, so that we slow down and really take in what God is trying to tell us as a church Ohana. These questions will be discussed at our weekly Bible Studies.
For all answers, use Scripture to support your answer as best as possible.
Read 2 Cor. 5:17-21
What ministers to or convicts you about this passage?
What does v. 17 mean? How does (has) this verse encouraged you in your own walk with the Lord?
What does Paul say our identity is in v. 17-21? Which identity markers do you believe most? Which do you struggle to believe and live into?
What is our mission as Christians that flow out of this identity? (v. 18-20)
How are we made righteous according to v. 21?
