Decisions vs. Commitments
Sunday, March 30, 2025
Big Idea:
Decisions are different than commitments. We can decide to do anything, but we aren’t always committed enough to follow through. We must be committed in order to maintain a lifelong relationship with Christ.
Key Scriptures:
Questions for Discussion:
Getting to Know You: What’s your favorite excuse for not doing something?
- Read Luke 9:57-62. How does Jesus respond to the excuses offered by the three men? What do each of Jesus’ sayings mean? What point is Jesus trying to make?
- Jesus didn’t sugarcoat anything – He made it clear that following Him wasn’t easy. In your opinion, what does it mean to count the cost of following Jesus?
- What are some things in life that tend to pull people away from fully following Jesus? What has pulled or tempted you to pull you away from following Him?
- Of the issues Jesus listed (comfort, social obligations, family concerns), which one would tempt you to not be fully committed?
- What do you think makes the difference between a short-term decision and a life-long commitment?
- What practical steps can we take to ensure that our faith is more than just words – that we are truly committed to following Christ no matter the cost?
Life Application: Are there areas in your life where you’re making excuses instead of fully surrendering to Christ?
