Cheers and Jeers (Palm Sunday)
by Richard ~ April 6th, 2009. Filed under: Sermons and Discussion.As Jesus neared Jerusalem, he presented himself in such a way that within five days, the crowd went from viewing him as their source of hope to shouting “crucify him.” In the texts today, we are challenged to consider the cost of following him. -Pastor Richard
Discussion Questions:
- What is easy to believe about Christ?
- What is hard, or offensive, to believe?
- Can you think of a way that a relationship that you are in changes your behavior?
- Cheap grace – willing to receive from Jesus but not walk with Jesus
- “Bless my story and plans, but don’t change them”
- Selective embrace of Jesus’ ethics and commands
- Busy doing, but we have stopped listening to Jesus
- How is your relationship with Christ two-way? How does the concept of “cheap grace” help you evaluate your relationship with Christ?
- What is the cost of discipleship for you where you are right now?
- How has Christ transformed your life as you have taken a difficult step forward in discipleship?
