Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. Do I look at sin as seriously as Jesus does? Why or why not? How would my life look differently if I felt like Jesus does about sin?
2. What are some sins that I’ve been delivered from? How did that come about? Do I believe that Jesus has deliverance in store for me for the sins I’m struggling with now? Why or why not?
Questions for discussion:
1. Read Titus 2:11-12. We have an initial repentance and conversion where we are saved by grace through faith. Afterwards, God’s grace continues to work in our lives. What does God’s grace continue to do for us according to Titus? How does this relate to what Jesus is saying in Mark 9:43-50?
2. God knows we won’t be sinless (1 John 1:8-9), and so what does it look like to be a person with sin who is strongly against sin? What place does God’s grace have for us? Can we be both fighting against sin, and resting in His grace? What does that look like?
