Free to Serve Sermon Discussion Questions Week of August 13, 2017
We serve like Jesus when we use our freedom for the benefit of others. Getting Started
• Share thoughts that stand out to you about the sermon on Sunday. • Why is it that the well-known, “popular” church goers seem to be the most overwhelming targets of outreach (serving)? • Have one member read aloud Galatians 5:1-15. • Review the overall theme of this sermon series. • How do good works and the single command in v 14 fit together?
Discuss 1. Can we be great without God’s help? 2. What does freedom in Christ mean to you? 3. Why is the discussion of circumcision emphasized by Paul? 4. What kind of servants should we become (vv 13-15)? 5. How do verses 6 and 13 address being free to do what we please? 6. What are the new challenges presented by today’s sermon and scripture? 7. Describe the “good race” of the Christian life and the detours you may meet there?
Prayer
Master Servant, thank you for providing our example. Help us to model each day after Your Son’s commitment to loving and serving others, shedding our selfish ways and freeing our love and compassion for those around us. In the name of Your Greatest Example, Jesus. Amen
Renew & Rejoice
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
