Sermon Discussion - Read Luke 13:22-30
- What stood out to you the most from this week's sermon and scripture passage? Why?
- In Luke 13:22-23, someone asks Jesus if only a few people will be saved.
- Why do you think this question was asked?
- What does it reveal about people's expectations of salvation at the time?
- In verses 25-27, Jesus describes people being shut out after the door is closed. What do you think this symbolizes about the nature of salvation and timing?
- How does Jesus’ warning about those who ate and drank with him but are still turned away, challenge common assumptions about what it means to know Jesus?
- Reflect on the statement, "Outward contact with Jesus counts for nothing; what he desires is an inward response."
- What does that mean?
- How does this impact the way we live out our faith?
- What does "making every effort" to enter the narrow door look like in our daily lives and spiritual practices?
- How can we support and encourage one another in our small group to "make every effort" in our spiritual lives?
- Ask the Lord to grant you the wisdom to discern between knowing about Him and truly knowing Him, and for courage to help each other strive toward this..
