Continue the Conversation

To help you apply the sermon here are some questions to talk over with your friends and family.

1. Do you like to read? What are some of your favorite books? Why?

2. The point of the Bible is to deliver Jesus to us so we repent and believe, and not merely a guide for better living. How does this understanding impact the way you read and hear scripture?

3. Pastor said that preaching is the delivering of a gift. Is this usually how you view preaching? How does the culture view the word "preaching?"

4. What are some ways you could make reading the Bible a more common practice in your life?
