Week 24 Life Group Questions
Palm Sunday

  1. Getting to Know You:
    Have you ever had someone give you something you considered a blessing that ended up being a curse?

  1. Digging Deeper:
    Read Genesis 3:7-24 and Romans 6:23. How would you define sin? Why does God hate sin? What were the immediate results of Adam’s sin? What lingering effects does Adam’s sin still have on us? How does understanding the effects of sin help us to hate it?
  2. Read Genesis 3:15, Genesis 22:1-18 and Exodus 12:7-11. How do these passages foreshadow the cross? What is so significant about the fact that the first time worship and love are mentioned is about Abraham's sacrifice? How does Abraham’s sacrifice redefine our typical concept of worship and love? How are virtually all the attributes of God (power, wisdom, love, justice, grace, etc) demonstrated in the death and resurrection of Christ?
  3. Read Daniel 9:24-27, Zachariah 9:9, Matthew 21:1-10 and Luke 19:39-44. Why should the Jews have known the hour of Christ’s visitation? What did the people expect Jesus to do? What were the underlying reasons for why the Jews missed him?

  1. Taking it Home:
    What has been your reaction to sin? Indifference, guilt, agitation or hatred? How can you think differently to walk in greater victory over sin?
