Lamentable Tragedies

Matthew 21:1-46; Luke 19:41-44

By Pastor Kelly Mahoney, March 24, 2024

Jesus’ revelation demands all to respond by:

1)  Worshipping the coming King. 

 

2)  Repenting and receiving His righteousness.

3)   Building your life guided by Him.

Applying God's Word to Life

1. Describe a scene where a whole crowd of people passionately expressed their approval or praise of someone?

  1. Give an example of a “lamentable tragedy” that makes you sad?

3. What’s the difference between asking a question, because you want to know the truth, versus asking in order to avoid a truth?

4. What are examples of questions people ask because they want to avoid submitting to God’s authority in calling them to repent, believe, and obey God’s call?

  1. What’s something you said you would do, but you did not?

  2. Tell about a time when you refused to do something, but later came to your senses and did it instead? Why?

7. What’s the biggest thing you’ve ever made or built? How did you make sure that it turned out right?

  1. How do you think God would rate your responsiveness to Jesus’ revelation of Himself and His promises?

  2. How does the Lord want you to respond to His revelation right now?

  3. What step of faith and obedience will you be taking today?
