Built to Last

Discussion Questions


Jesus asks, “Why do you call me ‘Lord’ and not do what I tell you?”

What makes this question uncomfortable—or revealing—for you?


Where do you see the temptation to admire Jesus without obeying Him in your own life?


The sermon raised the question: “Will He come through?”

When has that question surfaced for you personally?


How does remembering God’s past faithfulness help strengthen obedience in the present?


What “digging deep” might look like for you right now—practically, not theoretically?


How can our church more visibly embody a life built on Christ in Berkeley County?
