To help you apply the sermon here are some questions to talk over with your friends and family.
1. Have you ever been to the zoo? What is your favorite animal? Share any stories you may have about your encounters with wildlife.
2. In the sermon Pastor said that three ways people try to avoid the Word of God is by ignoring it, domesticating it, or attacking it. What are some examples of these that you have seen or experienced?
3. What other ways do people seek to avoid God's Word? What tendency do you see in your own response to God's Word?
4. Before we confess our sins on Sunday we say the following words: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness [1 John 1:8-9]. How does this free you to coonfront God's Word with confidence?
