“Year of Respecting God and Hoping in His Mercy”

Sermon Title: “Where Are You?”

Sermon Text: Genesis 3: 1, 6-7, 9; Luke 15

“FIRESIDE CHAT” QUESTIONS”

1. How did Satan’s question to Eve establish doubt on God’s character and integrity in the soul (heart) of humanity?
2. Why did God, Who is sovereign and knows everything call to Adam, “Where Are You?”
3. Ponder the next 3 questions God asked this couple (Gen. 3:10-13) and reflect on the devastating and eternal consequences that resulted from their disobedience.
4. Why can it be said, “Where Are You?” is a question that never ceases, and is asked to every generation?
5. From my perspective, this question is the predominate question of everyone’s life. Do you agree or disagree with this understanding? Why? Why not?
6. Chapter 6 of Genesis (vv5-7) records, “The Lord saw that the wickedness of [humanity] was great in the earth… and it grieved His heart”. Have you ever given thought to what the human soul, or what your own soul is like from God’s perspective?
7. What is your reaction to the revelation that the people God created (that we) cause grief to God’s heart?
8. Does the “Parable of the Prodigal Son” relate to you? In what ways?
9. How can we be near to the loving Father as the older son was but still grieve Him in our relationship toward Him?
10. What does the father in this parable teach us about the feelings of our heavenly Father toward those who are still lost in sin?
