I LOVE THAT! Get to know the Good Shepherd's voice

The following questions can be used as a weekly recap in a small group setting or as a personal study aid for the sermon preached by Pastor Jon Green at the Grace Place on Sunday, July 18, 2017.  Past sermons are available offline at www.nashvillechurch.com.  Click on “Media” to view the video.

Weekly Warm-up:
Who do people say you sound like?
How would you characterize your voice?  (deep, squeaky, sultry, etc.)
What are the different ways you use your voice?

Weekly Overview:
We went to church with a woman who lost her voice box due to illness.  After her surgery, her lips moved and breath came out but there was no sound.  It was like she was whispering but there was no sound at all.  Amazingly, we could still understand her because we knew her.  We had heard her speak and knew her voice.  We knew the patterns of her language and the way her lips formed her words because we were familiar with her speech.  She had lost her voice box but not her voice.  Do you understand Jesus when He speaks to you?  Are you so familiar with His voice that you can understand even His faintest whisper?  I love that!

Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read John 10:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

What are the characteristics of Jesus’ voice?
1.       CONVICTION VS. ACCUSATION
2.       PEACE VS. CHAOS
3.       ENCOURAGEMENT VS. RIDICULE
4.       FORGIVENESS VS. REVENGE
5.       LOVE VS. HATE
Where do we hear the voice of Jesus?
What does it take for us to become intimately familiar with His voice?
Why do you think people just “sip” on Jesus instead of “gulping” Him?
Why does the way we speak to people reflect who we are?
What traits do you want your voice to be recognized for?


Group Prayer:
Pray for a closer relationship with the Shepherd
Pray for more love

Pray for Pastor Jon
