Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. Am I ready for the Lord’s return? If not, what can I do (Hebrews 9:14)?
2. Are you suffering, or hated, for following Christ? How does the knowledge that God is in control help (Mark 10:29-31)?
Questions for discussion:
1. What ways is Jesus calling His followers to suffer for His name in 2026? What does our culture hate that Christians do?
2. What kind of support does the church need to provide to help us in a world that will hate us and persecute us? Beyond general principles, is there any specific support that you need?
