Sermon Study - How to Talk About Jesus
How to Talk About Jesus without Sounding Like an Idiot - Discussion Questions
Wesley Huff, shares practical strategies for Christians to talk about their faith with others. In “How to Talk About Jesus without Sounding Like an Idiot,” Huff shares his real world experience and Biblical teachings on engaging in meaningful conversations about faith in Jesus. This is a single session small group study. Use this video based study as a content filler in between more intense studies. The study guide includes discussion questions and homework journal prompts.
Group Study Plan
Each group member should come to group having watched the sermon from the homework. Make sure that everyone has the link to the sermon and a copy of the homework reflection sheet (printed or digital).
There are a lot of suggested questions for this study. You do not need to ask every question in the discussion guide. Choose the ones that are going to spark the best conversation in your group, and skip ones that don’t serve your group.
Supplies:
Printed Homework Sheets (one per group member)

Reflection Questions
If someone asked you “why are you a Christian?”, what would you say?
What questions have come up in the past that you want to do more research on?
In Group Discussion Questions:
Have you had an experience where you have had to “give an answer”?
How often do you talk about Jesus and God to non-believers? To believers?
Do you think it is the job of “professional Christians” to tell others about Jesus?
If someone asked you “why are you a Christian?”, what would you say?
How can we identify when a conversation is a genuine inquiry versus a trap?
How can you keep your cool in conversations about another person’s faith? Or defending your own faith?
How can we work on preparing ourselves to give an answer? (On a regular basis? When a specific person engages you?)
Do you think that these types of conversations need to happen face-to-face? What about text, post comments, in public, in private?
How do you feel about the idea that you are a walking gospel?
Special thank you to Taylor for writing this study. Our group had some excellent discussion from these questions. And she did an amazing job choosing sermons from different churches.
