A Savior Forever!

SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read Isaiah 9:6-7. Gods government and His peace is infinite. What are some ways we take this and Him for granted? How can we do better to remember what God has done by bringing us His son during this season?
2. Read Ephesians 2:11-14. Remember a time when you were far-off from Christ. Discuss this as a group. How can we regularly learn to appreciate what He has already given to us daily?
3. Read Luke 2:8-20. Pastor Dennis mentioned that shepherds were some of the lowliest people of the time in the community. What was the purpose of the angel announcing Jesus to the shepherds first? Why is this significant for us to understand today? They praised when they had seen the angels and heard what had happened. What circumstances changed in their lives? How can this change things for people who don’t know Christ? How can we receive this peace they received?
4. How can we surrender to God in practical ways daily? What exactly does that mean to surrender to Him?
5. Salvation is free, but surrender to Christ comes with a price. What are some of those costs? How can we receive His gift of salvation and continue in a walk of surrender?
6. Read John 6:66-68. Many have walked away after hearing the truth or receiving salvation. How can we have a heart that says where else can we go but with you, we surrender to you? How can we live under the “banner” of His lordship (protection, peace, love)?
