Sermon Discussion Questions
- Penny told a story about a baseball team whose uniforms left many with the impression that they would be poor at playing the game. What was the purpose of this story and how did it relate to the church in Sardis? As a group, discuss what facades we erect to hide behind our dead hearts. Think individually and personally (e.g. facebook, etc.) and think corporately (i.e. our church as a whole).
- Do you think of a warning as being gracious? Why or why not? How does this warning to the church serve a gracious purpose?
- Amidst their/our sin, what hope does Jesus offer the church? How does the reality of a faithful remnant serve as hope?
- To what action does he call you and I? What action(s) do we see from Jesus?
- Jesus invites us to put off the false life of the external and to put our confidence in Him. Why do we have so much trouble doing this? Why is it so hard to accept Christ's gracious invitation? [Thinking of Penny's story of going to the Sugar Bowl may spark thought and conversation.]
