What Do You Trust? | Rock Solid Week 4
Discussion questions to help you unpack the message with others.
- Would you have more fun smashing clay pots or taking a pottery class and making them?
- Read 2 Corinthians 4:7. How would your life change if you thought of yourself as a jar of clay?
- Read Romans 12:2. Do you find yourself putting your faith in other people, in ideologies, instead of the theology of God? If so, how does thinking of that person or that ideology as a fragile clay jar change your perspective?
- Brian gave numerous examples of how Jesus deconstructed the faith upwards, how he raised the bar, rather than lowering it. What’s an area of your faith you could “raise the bar” in this week?
Prayer
Now close your time in prayer. Here’s an example: “Lord, thank You for giving us your Son, who not only saved us but gives us a firm foundation to build our lives on in this world. Give us the discernment and the wisdom to rely on You and Your word rather than the ideologies of the world. Amen.”
Read John 1:14. At Crossroads we’re about the power of God who transforms lives. Everyday we’re getting outside ourselves trying to make a difference in the world. One way we do this is partnering with organizations who literally are changing the world everyday. If you want to jump in and start giving risk free, you can try the 90 day tithe test here.
New around here? We'd love to connect
The status quo just isn’t cutting it anymore. Everybody and everything is flawed and broke—no surprise there. If that’s the case, how do we know what to trust? Which messages should we listen to, and which should we reject? Turns out, Jesus had an answer to that—and it often meant turning the religious norms on their head. Join us as Brian talks about how we can have a clear, solid foundation for our lives.
