#15 “Jesus is Enough”

Colossians 3:18-4:1

These questions are based on Colossians 3:18-4:1 and the sermon preached on 9/13/26 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Colossians 3:22-4:1

1.    What stood out to you most from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2.    When it comes to interpreting the Bible, what does it mean that there are descriptive passages and prescriptive passages? How do you discern the difference? Why is it so important to discern the difference? Give a few examples of descriptive passages and a few examples of prescriptive passages.

3.    Read Colossians 4:1. What is the Big Idea Paul is communicating in this passage? How should that impact how we treat Employees or those we lead?

4.    The image of Marriage being a “beautiful diamond” that requires the proper “setting” to help display its beauty was an illustration used in the message. What are other helpful metaphors or illustrations you can think of for the beauty of the marriage relationship?

5.    Read Genesis 1:26-27. What does it mean that men and women were made “in the image and likeness of God”? What are some possible implications of this reality?

6.    Which of the three pieces of God’s Big Story for Marriage stood out to you as most beautiful/helpful/convicting? Why?
