SUMMARY: This Sunday we revisit Nehemiah chapter 5, focusing on the importance of community within the church to help each other walk in the fear of God. The message highlights the reactive steps taken when a member of the community is not walking in the fear of God, including being willing to say something, do something, and hold each other accountable based on Scripture within the church context. The sermon also emphasizes the proactive measures that can be taken to reduce the need for reactive steps, such as engaging in biblical community, literacy, and prayer. The ultimate goal is to ensure that as a church, we reflect the image of Jesus Christ and fulfill the mission God has set before us.
1. What does it mean to you to "walk in the fear of God"?
2. How can we lovingly approach a fellow believer who may not be walking in the fear of God?
3. What role does accountability play in our spiritual growth, and how can we implement it within our community?
4. Can you share a time when someone helped you realign with God's will? How did it impact your faith journey?
5. How can serving alongside others in the church help us grow in our fear of God?
6. In what ways can we proactively encourage each other to stay rooted in Scripture?
7. How does prayer strengthen our commitment to walk in the fear of God?
8. What are some practical steps we can take this week to help each other walk in the fear of God?
Next Steps:
This week, let's challenge ourselves to be proactive in our spiritual walk by engaging in one act of service within our church community. Additionally, let's commit to asking at least one person to hold us accountable in our walk with God, offering the same support in return.
Lord, we thank You for this time of fellowship and discussion. As we depart from one another, may the insights and convictions we've shared today take root in our hearts. Help us to be vigilant in supporting one another in our walks with You, and give us the courage to both offer and receive guidance in love. May our actions this week reflect our desire to serve You and build Your kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
