Summer MixtapeSeptember 1, 2024 // Zachary Fraley
Our guest, Pastor Zachary explores the concept of God’s goodness and how it should influence us to “ask, seek, and knock.” Don’t miss this message that is sure to encourage and bring hope to even our darkest circumstances!
Sermon Discussion Questions
- How do you reconcile the belief in a good and loving God with the existence of suffering and pain in the world? How has your personal experience influenced your view of God’s goodness?
- In what ways does your understanding of God’s character impact your prayer life? Have there been times when your perception of God hindered your persistence in prayer?
- The sermon mentioned the importance of persistence in prayer (“Ask, Seek, Knock”). How can we cultivate a persistent prayer life, especially when we feel discouraged or unheard?
- Reflect on the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) shared in the sermon. How does this parable challenge or confirm your understanding of God’s generosity and fairness?
- What does it mean to have a “deep, rich, and vibrant faith”? How can we ensure our faith is built on the ‘rock’ and not on ‘sand,’ especially in a world that often challenges our beliefs?
- Bible Study Question: Matthew 7:7-11 emphasizes the goodness of God and His willingness to give good gifts to those who ask. How does this passage encourage you to approach God in prayer? What steps can you take to deepen your trust in God’s goodness, even when His answers to your prayers aren’t what you expected?
