Sermon Study Guide (SSG)

God’s preached message is powerful. He teaches us, guides us, encourages us, convicts us. But listening shouldn’t be our only point of engagement with a sermon - when we engage in conversation about what we heard, as a group, with a friend, or even in personal reflection, the message takes on far greater depth and has far greater impact in our lives. This is why the Sermon Study Guide exists. To bring the Word of God deeper into our hearts and minds and to help us respond in obedience. Read on to find out how to utilize this valuable resource.

How to use the Sermon Study Guide

Step 1:
Read the Sermon Summary. This will get everyone up to speed about the main points touched on in the Sermon (even those who haven’t heard the sermon).

Step 2:
Flip the page and work through the questions. Don’t feel like you have to discuss every question, but do try and engage with at least one question per section (IN, UP, OUT).
