Sermon Discussion Questions
1. In what ways do we today need to be reminded to stand firm and hold fast? What temptations do we face in our culture that might draw us away from belief in the true gospel?
2. How does knowing that you are “beloved by God” cause you to live out your Christian life? Do you ever struggle to believe or forget God’s love for you? How can you remind yourself this week that God loves you?
3. Since the Lord has not only acted in the past to accomplish His eternal comfort, but also comforts His people now, what should His comfort produce in us? Who will you share the hope of God’s comfort with today?
