Sermon Discussion Questions

    1. How would you describe Consumer Christianity? Why can it be tough to receive the words of Jesus in Matthew 16:24-25 if a person sees Christianity as a consumer?
    2. What does it mean to carry the cross of Christ and how does that affect our thinking as followers of Christ?
    3. What is some of the difference between a Jesus centred person and a person that has a consumer mentality when it comes to their faith in Jesus?
