Study Questions for October 14, 2012


Study Questions for October 14, 2012
Sermon: “Sex, Greed, Idolatry, Drunkenness, and Church Potlucks”
by: Vermon Pierre
Series: The Tabloid Church (1 Corinthians 5:9-13)
1. What do these verses say about how Christians should or should not interact with “the world”?
 
2. What would be the wrong way for Christians to judge themselves? What would be the right way for Christians to judge themselves? What would be some good practical ways to do this within a local church? To answer that question think of practices, habits, structures, etc. that a church probably should have to better encourage right “judging” within her midst?

3. Think through the areas of sex, money/possessions, speech, and worship. In what ways does the world get these things wrong? How does the gospel help us get these things right? How should Christians live in comparison to the world when it comes to those areas? How might we winsomely convey to our world the “better story” of Christianity when it comes to sex, money/possessions, speech, and worship?

Sermon Study Guide for October 7th


Study Questions for October 07, 2012
Sermon: “Getting Clean
by: Vermon Pierre
Series: The Tabloid Church (1 Corinthians 5:6-8)
1.    Review and re-cap the situation Paul is dealing with in 1 Corinthians 5.

2.    What can blatant unchecked sin do to a church? How does Paul use the metaphor of leaven (or yeast if we were to put it in modern days terms) to illustrate this?

3.    Think of a modern day example or parallel to this situation. It can be something you heard about or something you are personally aware of. How did it turn out? According to this passage, how should it have been dealt with?

4.    Describe the kinds of things the people in a church of “sincerity and truth” (v.8) would do and not do.  How does our identity in Christ help us become a church of sincerity and truth and keep being a church of sincerity and truth? What steps do you want to take to help cultivate this in our own church?
