Sermon Discussion Questions
1. What did you learn from your graduation that you would love to pass on to one of the graduates? Are you an enslaved person/servant/bondservant of Jesus? If so, how has that helped you?
2. Have you ever been enslaved to something else, and how did you get free? What are some Scriptures that helped you become free?
3. What summer plans do you have to keep church important?
4. Was the comment that a husband "was to cheer up his spouse" fair? How can husbands and wives cheer up each other?
5. Have you ever struggled with a skin disease? How have you relied on God's power with that issue instead of your own?
6. Have you paid everyone off that you need to? How can you be generous to those who work for you?
7. Is there a fatherless or widow around you that you can bless and "leave some sheaves" for? How can you plan to minister to that person consistently?
