Here is a short discussion of our Going Deeper Study Guide for our past week’s sermon, Journey to the Cross ~ Are We on the Road for the Right Reasons, with Pastor Brandon and Danny. We will discuss the following questions and their practical applications in our lives based on this message. You can watch this message on this site.
1 – Why did Jesus instruct the seventy-two to pray for more laborers?
– Application: In what ways can you pray for more laborers in your own community to help share the message of Jesus?
2 – Why should we focus our joy on the fact that our names are written in heaven?
– Application: What are some practical ways you can keep your focus on the joy of salvation rather than on personal accomplishments?
3 – How can we make the name of Jesus great?
– Application: What are some specific actions or changes in your life that you can make in order to put the focus on Jesus and not yourself?
4 – How does the elevation of personal accomplishments diminish our witness about the Gospel?
– Application: How have you seen this in your own life and witness to Jesus and in others?
5 – What are some dangers of focusing on personal accomplishments rather than on our salvation in Christ?
– Application: Can you think of any examples from your own life where these dangers have become apparent, and how can we guard against them as we continue in our walk with Jesus?
