SERMON NOTES

I. Jesus will answer your question with a question.

II. Obedience is not just knowing, but doing right things.

III. It’s more about being on the right path than having a perfect pedigree.

 

FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION

- Have you made a public profession of faith (like becoming a church member)? Tell about that experience.

- What are the benefits of challenging people’s thinking with questions instead of answers? What are the drawbacks?

- Jesus used this parable to challenge people who were outwardly religious. Who would be challenged by His story of obedience today?

- What of your life looks like the “right path” of faithfulness right now? What of your life might need some course correction?

- What will you do this week to live more fully into a commitment you’ve made to God?

- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
