Discussion Questions
Re-read Matthew 21 in it’s entirety. What questions do you have?
Thinking back on the sermon, list out some of Jesus’ issues with the practices of the Jerusalem temple. How do you see these same issues manifested in religious practice today?
What are some of the common barriers you see today to folk connecting with God in faith? How does “church hurt” play into this? Do you have any personal experience with church hurt? How can our church help be a kingdom response to folk’s experience of church hurt?
Jesus is the true Temple. How does this impact your understanding of worship? What does it mean for you today to respond to Jesus’ invitation to meet the real needs of your heart?
How can our church join Jesus in removing barriers from folk’s connecting with God? How can you, individually, do this? Who might God be calling you to specifically seek out with the invitation of Jesus?
What was God telling you this week? What have you done about it?
