Household Discussion Guide
Week of September 19th - 24th, 2016
___________________________________________________________________________________
This Lord’s Day , as the Bride of Christ prepares to gather around God’s WORD, Matthew Dallas will present the first of 3 sermons on the importance of the Lord’s Supper. These questions below are designed to begin to equip our households to “open- up” the lines of communication regarding this critical doctrine. Please encourage the men to gather their households around God’s WORD and use the questions to have a guided conversation in their homes. Enjoy!!
1. From what you understand, what are the 2 ordinances of the Church?
2. What does it ordinance mean?
3. Without using ANY OUTSIDE RESOURCES see if you – as a group- can identify the top 3 texts that show the importance of the Lord’s Supper! (Where does the Bible teach this?)
4. Who is our heart to be preoccupied with before, during and after the supper?
Refer to 1 Cor. 11:25
5. What difference does it make what our hearts are preoccupied with from Prov.4:23?
6. Please look up Matt. 12: 34. From this text, would you agree with the statement that our words reveal our true heart? How much active consideration do you give to our accountability to Jesus for our words in Matt. 12:36
7. What do we proclaim when we take the cup for ourselves? Do we proclaim our personal merit in any way? Refer to Matt.26:26 Listen to what they say!
8. Have you ever considered that what we proclaim is our desire to share in the benefits that
Jesus has earned, for us, by His death?
9. Discuss as a group – what are 7 benefits that we receive , from Christ’s death?
