Is it Sinful to Love America?

“Is it Sinful to Love America”

 

Take-Home Truth: God has and is blessing America in spite of our flaws.

Christ-Connection: The gospel of Christ is the revelation of God’s blessing on America.

Hook: (Ice-breaker question. Get the group talking!)

  1. Share an experience/story/event that reveals the greatness of America past or present. 

Engage: (Observe the passage and engage with the text)

  1. Read Psalm 103:2 and 136:1.  Give some thought to the Lord’s benefits and goodness especially regarding the history of America as Richard recounted. Discuss the connection you see between history and scripture.
  2. How does the story of Squanto show God’s involvement in the beginnings of this nation?  Discuss other ways God has revealed Himself to and through this nation.  

Reflect: (Reflect upon the key take-aways from the sermon)

 

  1. Richard shared about George Whitfield’s ministry in America. How is Whitfield’s message still relevant for today? (John 3:3; themes: gospel for common man; gospel for all nationalities)
  2. How have you personally experienced God’s providence and favor upon this nation? These could be daily or miraculous events that you have experienced or witnessed. 

Respond: (Apply the truths of God’s Word to your heart, affections, and actions)

  1. Despite God’s blessings, America has flaws. Read Mark 14:3-9. In light of verse 8a, how can you contribute to our nation becoming a “city on a hill”?
