Sermon Discussion Questions:

 

  1. What do you think it means to live in a relativistic “post truth world”?  Explain why truth is either good or bad.  Why do you think many people reject the idea that God’s word is absolute truth?

  1. The apostle John greatly rejoiced when he found that some were walking in the Father’s truth.  Why is walking in God’s truth so important, and why does it matter more than any other material possession, success, accomplishment, or pleasure?  In your opinion, do most Christians today place walking in God’s truth at the top of their priorities?  Please explain your answer.

  1. How does Christian love enable believers to walk in God’s truth? How does Christian love help to guard believers from the deceitfulness of the world’s ways?  What role does the church play in this?

  1. What is one of the foundational beliefs of God’s truth and how have false teachers tried to warp or add their own “progressive” ideas to that core tenet of Christianity? (Hint: think about the gospel, and how some false religions try to warp the good news of Jesus Christ)

  1. Why is it important for every believer to study and understand the core doctrines of the faith? What would happen to the future of Christianity if every believer had the same level of understanding of theology as you?

  2. What can you do personally to increase your knowledge of God’s truth?  What are the obstacles that stand in your way and how will you overcome them?
