Sermon Discussion Questions
- Can you relate to the experience Penny had coming home after Sunday worship, determining to experience joy but then waking up from a nap and struggling to live out that determination? Describe a similar experience if you have one.
- What is "spiritual amnesia"? What are some examples of "spiritual amnesia" that we see the people of God experience in Scripture? What has "spiritual amnesia" looked like for you? Why do you suppose we experience this?
- In this passage, what commitments does Nehemiah remind the people of? Of these, which one might you need being reminded of?
- In Nehemiah's request for remembrance on behalf of the people, he takes the time to use a word ("steadfast love") that ultimately reminds them of who God is. Why does Nehemiah do this? Why is a reminder of God's "steadfast love" necessary for us? How does it serve to propel a renewal of commitment?
