Discussing sermons are a great way to help lead your LifeGroup in applying truth to your hearts. Below are the discussion questions for last week's sermon, Practicing the Sabbath.
Discussion Questions
- Read Genesis 2:1-3. What is the Sabbath? Why is it worth noting that the Sabbath was instituted before sin entered the story?
- Read Mark 3:23-28. What does Jesus mean when he says, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath”? Have you ever consistently and intentionally observed the Sabbath? What effect did it have on your life and wellbeing?
- In what ways are you tempted to make the Sabbath all about rules instead of understanding God’s heart and purpose for giving us the Sabbath?
- What are your main reasons for not practicing the Sabbath? Are there any areas where you need to grow in time management? Are there any areas where you need to re-prioritize the things on your plate?
- How will you plan and schedule the Sabbath into your weekly rhythm? What are you planning to do?
- What are things in life that stir your affections for Jesus and should be a regular staple in your Sabbath rhythm?
- What does it look like for you to practice the Sabbath in the context of community? What does it look like for you to practice the Sabbath in a way that is appropriate for your life stage?
