Sermon Specific
- Historically Jesus and judgment were easily accepted. Why is it so much easier for our culture to accept the gentleness of Jesus rather than the sternness?
- We have a built-in desire for human flourishing and Jesus’ way hits that target. Glen reminds us that our culture wants this flourishing but without Jesus. What makes following Jesus such a stumbling block in our culture?
- Glen states that Christianity is supposed to be an adventure, but we have made the kingdom of God into something mundane and boring. What habits and patterns rob our church of this sense of spiritual adventure?
- The presence of God is meant to be in you, at the centre. But what have we brought into the temple of our life that pushed God to the side? Name a time when a hobby, job, or person drew you away from making God the king.
