What’s the Good Word | Isaiah 55:6-9; Matthew 20:1-16

What’s the Good Word | Sermon Discussion Questions

  1. Pastor’s sermon suggests 3 “good words” the Lord might speak to us at the beginning of every day: COME, LOVE and JESUS. There are many more. Add to the discussion some other “good words” the Lord might greet us with when we ask; “Lord, what’s the good word?”

  2. Can you think of a time when you were really thirsty? And then just relive the joy of that first cold gulp of a refreshing drink. Isaiah was speaking to a dehydrated people about seeking a free life-giving drink to give them hope. Now, consider the parched condition of our sin-filled lives. And the Lord offers us LIVING WATER. Discuss your response.

  3. The prophet speaks of God’s compassion and the miracle of his abundant pardon. Discuss those two words: COMPASSION and PARDON.

  4. Yes, God’s ways are higher than our ways. Isn’t it great that we have a God......and that His plan of salvation for us.....is beyond our understanding? And yet how does He convince us that Jesus, our Savior is NOT too good to be true? How can we be sure of this “good word”?
