Sermon Outline Apr. 27/28
Deep Roots: Living Gospel-centered
Galatians 3:15-29
The Point
The Big Idea: Living Gospel-centered is built on knowing
God’s story points to Jesus.
God’s plan was always to bless “the nations” through Jesus.
We all need a guide to see our need for and follow Jesus.
Three “guides” still at work today:
1. Scripture
2. The Holy Spirit
3. Other people
Next Steps:
Turn and trust Jesus
Ask Jesus, “What does it look like for my story to point to you?”
Live It Out… a daily discipleship guide
Live It Out Podcast – Episode 4 “What does the Bible say about ______?”
Monday | Read/Listen to Galatians 3 | Worship to “Always Only Jesus”
Living Gospel-centered is built on knowing God’s story points to Jesus. How would you summarize Paul’s message in Galatians 3 in a sentence or two? Write it down. What is your faith story? How does knowing the point of the Scripture was always Jesus build confidence as you follow him? Ask Jesus, “What does it look like for my story to point to you?”
Tuesday | Read/Listen to Genesis 15, 17:1-8 | Worship to “Banner”
God’s plan was always to bless “the nations” through Jesus. How does understanding God’s purpose to bless all people through Jesus influence your view of God’s love and grace? In what ways does this broaden your perspective on the global church and its diversity? What does it look like to live this truth in how you view people both inside and outside the church? Ask Jesus, “Where do I have personal biases or barriers that stand in the way of the Gospel?”
Wednesday | Read/Listen to John 15:26-16:15 | Worship to “I’m Listening”
We all need a guide to see our need for and follow Jesus. Jesus promised his followers he would not leave them unguided. How is the presence of the Holy Spirit in you better than Jesus being with you physically? How can you grow your understanding of the Holy Spirit’s guidance? Who has God used to influence how you follow Jesus? How might you encourage them today? Ask Jesus, “Who can I invest in as they follow Jesus?”
Thursday | Read/Listen to Hebrews 10:1-25 | Worship to “Your Word”
There are three “guides” still at work today: Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and other people. What does it look like to be guided by Scripture? How have you experienced Scripture and the Holy Spirit’s guidance together? Where do you find yourself reluctant to be guided by others? How does God use the three guides together to help you follow Jesus? Ask Jesus, “What area of my heart/mind do you want to guide today?”
Friday | Read/Listen to Galatians 3 | Worship to “Firm Foundation”
Living Gospel-centered is built on knowing God’s story points to Jesus. During the first week of this series, we asked Jesus, “What area of my life do you want to transform over this series?” How’s that going? How has Jesus used the “guides” over the last few weeks to shape that area in your life? Ask Jesus, “What is the next step in this transformation you are asking me to take?”
