Review - Questions and the Gospel Diamond

Creation - what’s all this then?!

Questions we can ask:

Where did all this amazing stuff come from?

Do you ever wonder why we are here? Any purpose to any of it?

What do we make of beauty? Standing on a mountain? Before the immensity of the ocean?

We are very small in the universe? Does that mean our lives have no significance?

Fall/Promise - what’s wrong with the world? And us?

Questions we can ask:

Does the world seem to be a good place? A rough place?

Why is there so much injustice?

If people are good, why do they act so bad?

Is evil doing really just the business of your political enemies?

Why is the world full of pain and suffering? Why do we think this is WRONG?

Why do we think things are WRONG, EVIL, UNJUST if we are just atoms and there is no God?

Redemption - how do we get fixed up?

Questions we can ask:

Why do you think Jesus made such a huge impact on our world?

Who do you think that Jesus was/is?

Why do you think Jesus died?

Would it be a big deal to you if it is true that Jesus rose from the dead?

Do you think people need to be forgiven in life? Why? How does this change people?

Kingdom/Future - what’s the future?

Questions we can ask:

What are some of the causes that are important to you?

What is your view of the future of planet earth?

Do you think things are getting better or worse? Why?

Where do people find hope for their future? Where do you? What happens if those things fail? For example, money, health, influence, power, pleasures etc. can be lost.
