Day 5: Understand & Apply – Sermon by Pastor Mark Hanke


Read through the passage again in a different translation before listening to the sermon.
Using the sermon notes or separate sheet of paper take notes during the sermon.
1. What stood out to you most from the sermon?
2. What application is the highest priority for you to apply to your life? Why?
3. Sermon notes Question 1: There was a depth that was vast and incomprehensible for riches,
wisdom and knowledge of God. Give an example for the riches (see Rom. 11:12) of God. How
has God personally extended His mercy and grace toward you?
4. Sermon notes Question 2: Give an example of God’s wisdom (see Rom. 11:32). Describe God’s
scheme of salvation as seen from His prominent attribute. How does this cause you to admire His
wisdom?
5. Sermon notes Question 3: Can man know God’s mind, His thoughts or the counsels of His
will apart from His own revelation to man? Even as God declares His will, can natural man
discern any of it? Even as a spiritual man, can we know it perfectly? Why or Why not?
6. Sermon notes Question 4: How do you intend to practice doxology in your personal and
family life?
Remember to transfer your central idea and main application to the summary lesson.
