SERMON NOTES ➔
Todd Nighswonger, Elder & Lead Pastor
”Immanuel”
Series: The Great Commission, “Apprenticing With Jesus”
Synopsis: The last couple of weeks, the emphasis has been upon the idea of Jesus being “the son of David” (Matt 1:1). Jesus Christ IS credibly the KING. However, he is more than just the son of David. This week we will learn that he is also “the Son of God” (Lk 1:35). Jesus Christ IS the Son of GOD. And when people in Matthew’s Gospel grasped this reality, they would never be the same.
Community Group Discussion QUESTIONS:
At Cornerstone, we define a disciple as “a follower of Jesus who is learning from Jesus, trusting Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and helping others do the same.” As we continue through the Gospel of Matthew, discuss these questions in your group and/or for personal reflection throughout the week:
What can I/we learn from Jesus in these verses?
How do these verses call and help me/us to trust Jesus?
What attributes about Jesus are evident in these passages, and how can I/we become more like him?
What are some practical ways I/we can help others to learn from, trust, and become like Jesus?
For weekly group discussion guides related to each sermon, please see our community guides below
