SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read 2 Timothy 1:13-14 & Nehemiah 1:2-4. God has entrusted us with His vision. How can we keep the standard of the word He has given us to complete? What are some areas where you have failed to keep God’s vision either for your own life or for a particular situation? How can you better carry that vision in the future? Discuss as a group.

2. Read Nehemiah 1:8-9 & 1 Timothy 2:1-4. God’s vision and His heart for mankind is that ALL of us would be saved. Pastor Dennis mentioned that we are called to gather the people who are scattered. Name some names off of the top of your head of people that have been “scattered” that God has laid on your heart this year. How can you be more intentional about gathering them in? Discuss.

3. Read Mark 16:15 & Nehemiah 2:17-18. God has called every single one of us to preach the gospel and to gather in those who are “scattered.” This doesn’t mean that every single person is called to physically go around the world. What are some ways that you can reach the lost – at home – at work – in your community? How can we be more intentional about reaching those who are broken, just as the walls of Jerusalem were in Nehemiah?

4. Read Galatians 6:1-2. Often the “C”hurch has not done a good job of restoring people with a spirit of gentleness. In your opinion, and according to this passage, what should that look like? How can you personally do a better job?

5. Read Philippians 3:13-14. What are some of the next steps for you in God’s vision for your life, your family, your church, and your community? How can you continue to reach for what God has ahead for these areas? Discuss.
