2. What’s one thing you learned from the sermon? And one question you have?
3. Do you think it’s possible to get to Heaven by being good? Why or why not?
4. “If you could have Heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with Heaven, if Christ were not there?” In other words, would you rather have everything or have Jesus Christ?
5. What makes you afraid of choosing Jesus Christ over everything? What do you think “everything” would give you that Jesus wouldn’t?
