“Internal Problems”
Nehemiah 5:1-5
Rev. Tyler Dirks
Sermon Outline:
- Gremlins
- Greed
- Groan
Reflection Questions:
- Tell about a time you experienced an internal problem (swap “Internal Problem” stories with a friend, or type up an “Internal Problem” story on your computer).
- When was a time you naively believed that certain communities don’t have internal problems?
- Honestly… is materialism and affluenza actually a problem? If so, why is NO ONE putting up any kind of serious resistance against it? What would it even look like to resist consumerism in your everyday life?
- As you contemplate Paul’s writings about groaning in 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 8, how do you understand and apply groaning to be a good thing (distinct from grumbling or grouchiness)? Why is it so freeing and joyful for James to invite rich people into groaning in James 5:1-3?
