*To aid with church-family discussions, discipleship of children and mutual discipleship, each week we provide questions regarding the Scripture passage and sermon. We pray that these would be helpful to assess understanding of the passage, the key elements of the sermon, and application of the text. It is intentionally called “family discussion questions” for help with both families and church-family interactions.
