Advent I - Small Group Questions

If you were unable to be with us on Sunday you can listen to this sermon here.

Mt 24:36-44
1. When you were a child, what was your favorite time of day? or favorite day of the week? or favorite season of the year? Why?
2. Read v.37-39. In what ways is Jesus saying the second coming will be like the flood?
3. Fr. Mike spoke to the necessity of being prepared. In what ways are you living a prepared life as a Christian?
4. Fr. Mike noted that we will be tested - either through Jesus' return or through facing our own death in this life. How prepared do you feel for this test? What kind of steward do you believe you are being with your life?
5. Are there aspects of your life that, if Jesus returned as you were in their midst, you would be embarrassed or ashamed? What might this say about your need to offer these areas up for transformation? How might you move away from these so that you might honestly say that Jesus could come at any time and you would be prepared?
6. How does the knowledge that Jesus will return some day affect how you are living your life, if at all?
