Rev. Tyler Dirks

 

Sermon Audio

 

Sermon Outline:

  1. Grace
  2. Childlike

Reflection Questions:

  1. How do you feel about Zechariah’s scandalous/controversial decision NOT to give his firstborn son a family name?
  2. How do you feel about performance reviews? How have you wrongly assumed that God is conducting performance reviews of your life?
  3. What is something that you truly love and enjoy but you hide it for fear of chastisement and/or censure?
  4. Sincerely offer a reasonable-sounding defense for the seriousness and sulkiness of King Saul (and Michal [see 2 Samuel 6:20]; and/or the Pharisees [see Matthew 3:7]).
  5. How do you feel about God’s emphatic command to become childlike? How do you feel about the fact that God addresses us as little children? (see Matthew 11:25; John 13:33; Galatians 4:9; 1 John 2:1, 28; 3:7, 18; 4:4; 5:21).
