Sermon Application Questions:

1. Why is it so crucial for Christians to understand the timeline of how God chose them before the foundation of the world and called them through the preaching of the gospel? What unhelpful outcomes can result when we don’t follow the biblical teaching?
2. Why is Christian discernment so important and why do so many lack it? Why is it that so many people who think they have it don’t? How do you know if you are exercising biblical discernment?
3. How does prayer help us align more closely with the purposes of God? Why is it important to pray accurately?
4. Interact with the following: “Our theological convictions must not be a figment of our imagination or fabricated out of the confusing web of present conflicting times; they must be based on bedrock biblical truth, reflecting the powerful Providence of God, a firm resolve to reflect His glory, and reliance upon His sure promises.”
