Sermon Discussion Questions

  1. Read and meditate on 1 Peter 1.8. Have you experienced the inexpressible, indescribable joy mentioned? What does it take to be able to experience this kind of joy? What is hindering you from experiencing it for yourself on a daily basis?
  2. Read the book of Esther and reflect again on the sermon. Esther was given a vision for such a time as this. What new perspective did you obtain about Esther? How did her yesterdays prepare her for her calling? Why was it important that she knew her mission? (Pro 29:18, Ps 90:12)
  3. Every Christian has a God-given purpose. We each have a unique role to play to fulfil His mission. We are not here by chance and our past experiences are all to help prepare us. Have you discovered your calling? What steps can we take to prepare ourselves as we align our to His will and to do His good works?
  4. The modern day Christian is still called to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19). How can you share of the joy and the strength that comes from the Lord to the world? How does living out a powerful and impactful life daily help draw those around us to seek God as the source of our joy and strength?
