On Sunday, January 25, 2025 at Wildwood Community Church I preached a sermon based on Luke 3:15-20. This message was part 4 of our series,”Prepare the Way”. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 3:15-20
- Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone famous?
- The crowd witnesses John’s ministry and think his behavior seems (to them) to be Messiah-like. What about John’s ministry do you think caught their eye to raise such lofty expectations?
- John is very clear that he is not the Messiah. There is only one Savior of the World and it was not John (or any of our favorite spiritual leaders, teachers, or authors). Has there ever been a teacher, pastor, or author that you so revered, that you took their word as “gospel truth” … even to an inappropriate level? God uses human teachers and ministers to be a blessing to us, but we should not treat them as little gods, or places of ultimate authority. There is only one Christ!
- In what ways did Jesus demonstrate Himself to be greater than John (and all others!)?
- In the message, we looked at Hebrews 1:1-4, Colossians 1:15-20, John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:5-11, Revelation 1:12-16, and John 1:29-32 to remember the greatness of Jesus. What stands out to you MOST about Jesus from these passages?
- Knowing who Jesus is, does it surprise you that He is interested in a relationship with you? That He bled and died for you? When we learn of our sin and turn/repent we find Jesus Christ ready to receive us and reconcile us to God. Are you trusting in Him for your salvation?
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
