SAFE HOUSE: Built on the Rock


The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached by Rev. Tommy Dove at the Grace Place on Sunday, May 26, 2013. To get the most from these questions, go to www.graceplaceonline.us and listen to the service first.

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as a basis for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

Fellowship:

Icebreaker:

Where were you during the Nashville flood of 2010?

What preparations did you make prior to the flood?  During it?  After it?

How have you changed your home due to that flood?

Where is your safe place during a storm?

Worship: (Optional for communities who have the time and talent)

“Praise you in this storm” by Casting Crowns (Find You Tube link)

OK, I know you want to sing “The wise man built his house upon the rock” along with the hand gestures!

Scripture:

Luke 6:46-49

Lesson:

What a difference a week can make!  Monday an F-5 tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma, where Tracy and Amanda Wilkins live.  We are so thankful for their protection during the storm.  Others lost their homes.  Some lost their lives.  That town had been through storms before so they knew how to prepare.   They heeded the warning and their storm shelters saved lives.  Having a safe house can save your life.

Why do we not heed Jesus’ warnings?

What is necessary to create a solid foundation (or storm shelter)?

Why is the depth so important?

What is the risk of not being prepared for life’s storms?

Jesus prayed all night and the next day Power came from Him!  Ask someone to read Luke 6:12, 19.

If you feel comfortable, share about a personal storm you have weathered with Jesus’ help.

How deep are you willing to dig in order to prepare your safe house?

Prayer:
