42 - The Great Chasm

The Great Chasm

Luke 16:19-31 | John 11

The great barrier to faith is not a lack of knowledge, but the pride that guards our hearts from admitting our need for grace.

  1. Between Heaven and Hell (vv. 19-26)

  2. Between Your Head and Your Heart (vv. 27-31)


Discussion Starters

Monday—Have you ever felt invisible? When? What was it like? Have you ever wondered if God really knows you?

Tuesday—How did the rich man see the gifts God had given him? What does this tell us about his heart? Can you see yourself in the rich man at all?

Wednesday—Was the rich man ignorant of God’s truth? Is anybody really ignorant? Why or why not? Why isn’t knowledge enough to lead us to repentance?

Thursday—Have you been tempted to rely on big events or dazzling presentations to change people’s hearts? Why isn’t that enough?

Friday—Why is love the only thing that can break through our pride and humble us? Are you comfortable talking to others about God’s love?
