Sermon Notes October 3, 2021
1. What were you taught as a child about the Bible’s significance? Who were your most
important faith influences at that time? What would you say was the foundation of their
faith?
2. At what point did you begin to question your childhood faith? What influenced your doubt?
3. If you were to ask your friends why they don’t follow Jesus, what do you think they would
say? What might they say is the foundation of the Christian faith?
4. Read Acts 2:22–39. Many in Peter’s audience were stopped in their tracks at his words. What
moved them most about what he said? How can his message encourage us to change our
minds about where to place our confidence?
5. As you think about the next generation and consider raising kids and grandkids, what
problems do you think we face in helping them establish a firm foundation of faith? Where
should we encourage them to place their hope and confidence?
6. Think about the early church and its people, who put their complete trust in Jesus without
having a Bible in front of them. What would need to change in order for you to have that kind
of faith? How can you begin to explore a faith that’s built on the foundation of the
resurrection of Jesus?
