Sermon Talks
- Read Matthew 28:20
- In what areas of your life (e.g., devotional time, work, family) have you noticed yourself focusing on religious routine (piety) instead of cultivating intimacy (presence)?
- What are some distractions that have kept you from dwelling in the presence of Christ?
- Are there any sins, hurts, disappointments, or even prejudices that you need to surrender to Jesus and place at His feet?
- How can we hold one another accountable to not allow our hearts to become cynical or cold toward others?
- How have you allowed your ideas and abilities to lead your mission strategies?
- What is one practical difference you see between a Christian whose life is an “altar of His presence” versus one who is merely following external religious rules?
- How are we allowing the presence of Christ to radiate through us by abiding in Christ and being a vessel for His love to overflow to the people around us?
