DISCUSSION QUESTIONS | November 1, 2026
The following questions may be used for further personal or group reflection as you strive to build your house on the rock of Christ and his Word (cf. Luke 6:46).  

​

1.    The Bible is a much more realistic book than many people grow up realizing.  It doesn’t hide the warts and painful experiences of life in a broken world.  Yet, as sobering as that can be, it can also be comforting.  How so?

​

2.    If you grew up in the church, what was your favorite Bible story as you grew up?  Why?  Is that still your favorite story today?  Why/why not?

​

3.    Anxiety is often higher the closer we get to elections.  How does the Word of God from the service/sermon address such political anxiety?  Are there any other sections of Scripture or Bible passages that you’ve found helpful in navigating such anxiety?

​

4.    Evaluate the following statement:  “Since Christ is our King, and he will restore all things when he returns, I don’t need to concern myself with worldly affairs like politics.”  For help, refer to Psalm 82:2-4, Isaiah 1:17, Ephesians 1:18-23 and Psalm 2.

​

5.    Did the sermon change your understanding of the eternal future for God’s people?  If so, how?

6.    Which aspect of the curse of sin do you most look forward to being rid of when Christ returns and “makes all things new” (cf. Revelation 21:5)?

​

7.    Other than God/Jesus, who do you look forward to speaking to most when you get to heaven or when Christ returns?  Why?
