Reverend Maryanne B. Ditter,
Acts 10:44-11:18
Sermon Questions:
1. Is Tabor church more concerned with its members being like themselves or are we open to accept people different from us?
2. How do you feel around people that are different from yourself? Are you willing to invite them to Tabor church?
3. Would you be willing to share your pew with a homeless person? Would you be willing to share the gospel with them?
4. Should Tabor be selective in who we reach out to in our community?
5. Can you imagine yourself being accepting of others once you have heard the reasoning of those you know to be godly people?
Further Study:
Mark 2:15-17
1. Not only Jesus but also his disciples “were eating” with sinners. Can you imagine yourself as Jesus disciple in this scene? Describe how you feel, what do you see going on around you?
2. The Pharisees were experts in the law; why were they so upset seeing Jesus reaching out to the lost?
3. Why did Jesus choose to hang out with sinners anyway?
4. Does these verses inspire you in any way? If so, in what way?
