# Study Guide for “A Home Question” Sermon by Rev. C. H. Spurgeon

## Introduction
In this powerful sermon, Rev. C. H. Spurgeon challenges listeners to reflect on their own sins rather than focusing on the faults of others. He emphasizes the importance of self-examination and repentance, urging individuals, communities, and nations to recognize their shortcomings before God. Spurgeon reminds us that no one is exempt from sin and that true transformation begins at home.

## Discussion Questions

2. **Community Accountability**: In what ways can we as a community hold each other accountable for our actions without falling into the trap of judgmentalism?

3. **Cultural Critique**: Spurgeon discusses the tendency to criticize other nations and groups. How can we balance our critique of societal issues with a commitment to address our own shortcomings?

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, recognizing my own sins and shortcomings. Help me to see where I have fallen short and to seek Your forgiveness.
