Are All of the Promises in Scripture for Me

In our May 18 Sunday gathering we continue our series about the Jewish roots of Christianity and some of the confusion that has caused for the Western church. This week's discussion questions are below: 1. Have you ever claimed a Bible promise thinking it applied directly to you, only to realize later it was originally meant for someone else? How did that realization impact your faith or understanding of scripture? 2. Why is it important to understand the original audience and context of a biblical promise? 3. How does knowing that God’s promises depend on “His” character (not ours) give you comfort or challenge you? 4. What does Paul mean when he says “all the promises of God find their Yes in him” (2 Cor. 1:20)? 5. How can promises made to Israel still bring blessing to us through Jesus, even if they weren’t made “to” us? 6. How does viewing the Bible as "one continuous story"—with Jesus as the main character—change the way you read both the Old and New Testaments? 7. Why do you think we’re so tempted to make the Bible “about us” rather than about God? 8. How should we approach verses like Jeremiah 29:11 in a faithful and honest way? 9. How does the promise “I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20) personally encourage you? 10. The sermon mentioned asking: “Who is this promise for? What does this reveal about God’s character? Is there a principle here for all people? How is this fulfilled in Jesus?” How might those questions change the way you study the Bible going forward?
