Faith & Doubt – Good Faith
Sermon Based Small Group Questions
Icebreaker: What is the most high risk (death-defying) adventure you’ve ever taken? How did you get the courage? What kind of equipment/expert did you put your faith in? Was it good faith or bad faith?
If you have no risk takers in your group, you can ask the question, “Have you ever seen a foundation (of house or building) fail?
Note to the Leader: Before you dive into the questions below. Take some time to ask your group what their impressions were from the message. Did they have questions? Did they write any highlights in their notes?
- Read James 3:13-18 What are the parallels between this passage and Matthew 7:24-29 What are the characteristics of heavenly wisdom?
- Read I Corinthians 3:10-11 In light of this passage what are you building your faith on? What is the evidence of this in your life?
- Psalm 92:13-15 & Matthew 16:18 Many times in Scripture God refers to “the Rock” what does this mean? Can you think of any Scripture passages that contrast the lack of foundation for the wicked (Psalm 1)? What are other biblical examples of those who build a foundation of sand?
- Pastor Kris taught from Matthew 7:24-29 this is the conclusion of a sermon that starts in Chapter 5 of Matthew. How might this shape how you hear this passage in Matthew 7:24-29? What are some highlights from this great sermon of Jesus?
- Can you recall any of the characteristics of Good Faith and Bad Faith from the message? Can you describe people in your life who model Good Faith?
- What and/or who has God used in your life to build a solid foundation? What and/or who has contributed to a poor foundation?
- What core conviction is at the top of your priority list right now? How long will it take you to build the foundation in this one area of your life?
