The Narrow Way | Matthew 7:13-14

This is the sermon outline, which Mark borrowed from Voddie Baucham and Don Carson:

1. Two gates
2. Two ways
3. Two crowds
4. Two destinies

Here are discussion questions that go with the message:

Two Gates:

1) Have someone read Matthew 7:13-14. What are things that will change in a person who is truly born again?

2) Have someone read 2 Corinthians 5:14-17. What are ways Christianity in the South has tended to water-down the new birth?

 

Two Ways:

3) Have someone read Colossians 3:5-11. What makes the wide path so attractive and easy to follow?

4) Why is the narrow path so challenging and difficult? How can we faithfully persevere to the end?

 

Two Crowds:

5) Have someone read 1 Corinthians 15:33-34. Why does bad company have such a negative effect on us? How do we continue to love lost people without being influenced poorly by them?

6) How has being part of a body of faithful believers (the "few" who are on the narrow path) been a help to you personally?

 

Two Destinies:

7) Have someone read Psalm 73 verses 3-4 and 16-19. How does seeing the future help us not envy or imitate the wicked?

8) Have someone read Luke 13:22-30. What will "destruction" mean for those on the wide path? What will "life" mean for those on the narrow path? How can this spur us on in faithfulness?
