Leader Hints are designed to help guide a leader to some information that we want to “tease” out of the group. They are not there for you to directly read to the participants. People are significantly more likely to remember things they said or came up with, so your goal is to help direct them to that answer.
FINAL NOTE: Our goal is to get to the [APPLICATION QUESTION] to help work with people through how to apply what God is doing in their life.
INTRO:
- Icebreaker: Do you decorate for Fall or for Halloween?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- What are your initial thoughts or feelings when you hear the word “hell”?
- How do you think popular culture and media have influenced our perception of hell?
- What do you understand by the term “Gehenna” as used by Jesus, and how does it differ from the common image of hell?
- How does the description of hell in Revelation 20:10, 13-15 impact your understanding of eternal torment?
- How does the concept of hell as a place of separation from God align with or differ from the idea of physical torment?
- How does Colossians 1:15-17 help explain the nature of hell?
- What insights do you gain from C.S. Lewis’s depiction of hell in “The Great Divorce”?
- How do you reconcile the idea of a loving God with the existence of hell and eternal punishment?
Application Question:
- How can understanding the biblical perspective of hell influence the way you live your life and interact with others?
- Take up prayer requests and pray together.
