Sermon notes
Bible Text: Genesis 3:8-13 | Preacher: Pastor Gifford Dennison |
Questions aren't always asked to discover fresh Content.
Questions can be put in such a way that they can Change minds and Convert beliefs.
God used questions to appeal to the Conscience and urge a Confession.
When having to Confront someone, using questions rather than Comments is preferable.
A statement causes a listener to consider the speakers thoughts with a view to challenging them, whereas a question causes the listener to consider his own thoughts.
A statement made before knowing all the facts is careless. Whereas a question asked before knowing all the facts shows competence.
A statement indicates that you have come to a conclusion. Whereas a question indicates that you are still considering the matter,
A statement indicates that it is time for them to make a choice. Whereas a question gently guides the listener to make the right call.
An inaccurate statement causes the listener to cut off from you, whereas an inaccurate question allows the listener to clarify things for you.
