This week’s message was entitled “The Father’s Discipline”. We looked at Hebrews 12:5-11 to see that discipline is from God, discipline is for sons, and discipline is for our good. In order to understand and apply these truths, let us consider these questions:
- When an unexpected problem enters your life what do you typically think and how do you typically respond? How is God a part of the picture for you?
- When you think of the discipline of the Lord do you primarily think of it as redemptive? Why or why not?
- We recently heard that God cares more about our lives than we do. How does this fit with your understanding of the discipline of the Lord?
- When we are disciplined, what reasons do we have to be encouraged?
- How is the discipline of the Lord connected to the grace of the gospel?
May we rejoice this week that we have a loving heavenly Father who is faithful to discipline us, because He has made us His very own sons and daughters.
