Sermon Study Questions
Three general questions for digging deeper:
- What does this text teach us about God?
- What does this text teach us about ourselves?
- If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?
Questions specific to the July 19 sermon from Luke 6:37-42:
- Jesus says, “Judge not… condemn not,” and then illustrates the difference between the speck and the log. In your own words, what is the difference between discerning right from wrong and having a judgmental or condemning spirit? How can we speak truth without losing mercy?
- Think about a relationship where you are tempted to be critical or assume the worst. What “log” might Jesus be inviting you to acknowledge in your own heart before focusing on the other person’s “speck”? How would that change the way you respond?
- Why is it so difficult to be more aware of our own sins as opposed to others’ sins? What practices help cultivate humility and make us quicker to extend mercy instead of judgment?
- We have all experienced both judgment and mercy from others. When have you been changed by someone’s undeserved grace or patient forgiveness? How does the mercy Christ has shown you motivate you to become a more gracious, forgiving, and non-judgmental person towards others this week?
Serving Opportunities
