Sermon Discussion Questions
- Do you struggle with being quick to give an answer and slow to stop, observe, and listen? Why?
- Ryan talked about Nehemiah's keen awareness about human beings' propensity towards chafing at change. Why are we human beings so reluctant when it comes change? What can we learn from Nehemiah with regards to dealing with change?
- We live in a day and age where community is severely fractured and yet, Nehemiah reminds us how developing a hopeful outlook is based on community. Why is community so important for the development of a hopeful outlook? What does this community look like in our context?
- What is Ryan's new favorite verse? Why is it his favorite? Is it hard to believe that God wants to use you in your "good work" to bear witness to His existence?
- "You find out where your hope is when things are hard." [paraphrase from sermon] Where or to what do you go in your times of despair? What is the encouragement of the Gospel from this passage in Nehemiah?
