Sermon Discussion Questions
- When we tolerate sin, what kinds of excuses do we tell ourselves? When we tolerate sin, what is it that Pastor Ryan said is eroded?
- What was significant about the way that the trade and commerce system worked in Thyatira? Why was this a difficult place to be as a Christian? What real issues do Christians face today that might be similar? (start with what Pastor Ryan mentioned and brainstorm from there)
- Take a few of these issues and discuss how, as Christians, we can lovingly engage the world around us even as we seek to have an intolerance for sin, particularly sin in our own lives.
- What is truly needed to develop a gratitude for grace?
- We should have a proper longing for a greater and future glory. Are you surprised by the picture of glory described in this passage? What significance does it have for us that we are given not merely a place but truly a role in this future glory? How does this aid in curbing our tolerance for sin?
