You Asked for It

5 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

‘You Asked for It’ is a five-week sermon series dissecting tough issues that are often challenging to talk about in church. There are two ways that pastors can plan this series. 1. Conduct a poll and have your congregation submit four issues for you to teach on. 2. Follow this guide where each week looks at a different passage from the Psalms, investigating not only the biblical stance on each topic, but also how believers can approach God concerning these often-divisive issues. This series guide will assist you as you explore biblical answers to difficult questions. Each week also includes a relevant New Testament passage for further input on these challenging matters. Topics include: politics, depression, sexuality, and materialism. Compare to You Asked for It (youth).

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 5 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
