Sermon Questions
Why do many today find Jesus' teaching hard?

Jesus is not overwhelmed by the departure of so many disciples. Why not? How should this form our attitudes as Christians?

St Augustine wrote, "The member does not live apart from the body." How does this passage illuminate the problems with "loner" Christianity?

Judas confessed Jesus to be Messiah — just not the kind of Messiah who would bring His kingdom through crucifixion. How might we (not someone else: we) be tempted to reshape Jesus into the kind of Messiah we would like him to be?

In calling Jesus the "Holy One," John presents Jesus as the new altar, the place that God has established for sacrifice to be offered. In being "consecrated" themselves (John 17:17), the disciples are prepared to share Jesus's costly mission. What does sharing this costly mission mean for you today?

Sermon Questions
What is the basic error of the Galilean crowd? Do you ever share their error?

In what way does Jesus' saying, "I am the bread of life," capture his essential message?

Before life group, watch the Lebron Nike ad (linked below). Consider the picture of God as a coach, hurling back at you yet another opportunity for — and yet another requirement of — victory. With what "image" of God does Jesus subvert this idolatrous picture? (See John 4:43, 5:20, 6:57).

"The word of the gospel is not do, but done." What is it that Jesus has "done"? See Hebrews 10:11–14, 1 Peter 3:18.

Of his life prior to conversion, the North African bishop, St. Augustine, wrote: "To possess my God, the humble Jesus, I was not yet humble enough. I did not know what his weakness was meant to teach... [Those who are willing to be made his subjects] see at their own feet divinity become weak by sharing in our coat of skin. In their weariness they fall down before this divine weakness which rises and lifts them up." Why was the ultimate manifestation of God's wisdom not in thunder and lightning but in humble human form? What did this achieve that a blazing revelation of divine power could not have?

How does the image of the bustling family living room, full of craziness and song, offer a beautiful alternative to Lebron, alone on the court? In what concrete ways can we be cultivating this church family as a scene more like the former than the latter?

July 28, 2024Mt Pleasant :: Randy Forrester: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Bible Study
Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon:
.
Sermon Notes
Psalm 139:13-18 highlights God's power and purpose displayed in the life of every human being, even from the womb!
Observation #1: God's power (omnipotence) is seen in how he lovingly and creatively "knits together" each and every person in the womb

Observation #2: God's purpose is seen in how he records each and every day a person has even before they are born

Implication #1: Because God is the author of life (his power and purpose bring it about), life is sacred from conception

Implication # 2: Even though we live with the effects of the Fall (sickness, shame, sinful/unhealthy decisions), God still declares each and every person "fearfully and wonderfully made."

Response: praise God for your existence, your life, your body, your purpose! Your very own self is a perpetual reminder and reason to praise God: “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” (Psalm 139:14 ESV)
Sermon Application
Discussion Questions:
Why do you think the psalmist focuses on God's creative work in the womb? Do you see any connection back to verses 7-12?

Compare a theological and scientific description of how life develops in the womb. Do you believe these are in conflict? Why or why not?

How is the purpose of a human life determined? Who determines it? Can a life still have a purpose even if a person dies very young?

How would you describe the purpose of your own life?

According to Psalm 139, why is the life of an unborn child sacred?

Is there a place in your life where you need to hear God's Word that you are "fearfully and wonderfully made"?
