a different way: Inside Out Righteousness

Journey Church Bozeman Sermons

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 29, 2024

Reflection Questions:
1. What does it mean to say that Jesus was “opposed to religion?” How would you define “religion”?

2. Religion tends to focus on what we do more than why we do it. Why is it so important to Jesus that we do the right things for the right reasons? What can happen when we don’t focus and reflect on our heart motivations for following Jesus?

3. Why does a focus on our inner life (heart/motives) lead to obedience in our outer life (behavior)?

4. What are the right motivations for obedience? What are some wrong motivations for obedience?

5. How can a person learn to discern what our true heart motivations are for obedience?

Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal yourself to yourself. Pray this psalm…

Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

• What comes to your mind that God would want to change in your heart and mind?
• Who is one person you could share this with and pray for the Holy Spirit to bring change?
