WE ARE CONCERNED! Our Responsibility

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, March 8, 2015. To get the most from these questions, go to http://www.graceplace.us and click on “Streaming.”  From there you can watch or listen to the service first.

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic 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: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)

How do you know about the approach of dangerous weather?

Where is your safe place?

What preparations do you make for storms?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it)

Ezekiel 33:1-11, John 1:35-46, John 4:39-42

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)

Television meteorologists get anxious when a storm is approaching and are excited to warn their audience.  (They have had a lot of fun the last few weeks.)  It is then our responsibility to respond appropriately to their warning.  The Gospel is God’s warning to mankind.  It is our responsibility to respond appropriately and excitedly share that warning with others.

What did God tell Ezekiel to say to the Israelites?

What is the warning we need to share?

How do we “sound the alarm?”

How did the disciples feel when they found Jesus?

How did the woman at the well respond to meeting Jesus?

How excited are you about the Gospel?

Why should we warn others?

Who do you know that needs to hear “the alarm?”

Prayer:  (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)

As we countdown to Easter, begin to pray for specific people who need to find Jesus.
