Jesus asks in Luke 6:46 why people call him Lord but do not do what he says -- in what specific areas of your life is there a gap between what you profess about Jesus and how you actually live?
The sermon draws a distinction between getting saved and living saved -- what does it look like practically to surrender daily lordship of your life to Jesus, and where do you find that most difficult?
The two builders in Jesus' parable both came to him and heard his words, but only one acted on them -- what does it reveal about your own faith when you consistently hear biblical truth but delay obeying it?
The pastor suggests that storms do not create character but reveal it -- can you think of a time when a difficult season exposed something about the foundation of your faith, and what did you learn from it?
Hudson Taylor responded to the Great Commission by going to China, but the sermon suggests that God will not call someone to cross the world who has not first been faithful across the street -- what small act of obedience is God nudging you toward right now that you have been putting off?
The sermon describes faith as a lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus through little acts of obedience -- how does viewing faith as a daily practice rather than a one-time decision change the way you approach your walk with God?
The pastor mentions that Jesus is always present even when we do not behave as though he is -- how would your words, decisions, and relationships look different if you lived with a constant awareness of his presence?
Matthew 7 describes people who performed mighty works in Jesus' name but were told he never knew them -- what is the difference between religious activity done in Jesus' name and a genuine relationship with him that produces obedience?
The foundation in Jesus' parable must be laid before the storm arrives -- what spiritual disciplines or habits are you building into your life now that will sustain you when trials come unexpectedly?
The sermon closes by asking not just what you know to be true, but what you should do about it -- what is one specific truth from Scripture that you know well but have not yet fully acted on, and what is holding you back?
