Jesus asked more than 300 questions in the Gospels. He was asked more than 180. And yet, He directly answered only a handful.
That restraint is not incidental. It is revelatory.
The Questions Jesus Answered sermon collection is built around five such moments, each one chosen because Jesus’ decision to answer exposes something essential about love, identity, suffering, holiness, and desire. These sermons are not driven by trends or themes imposed on the text. They are driven by close attention to the moments when Jesus Himself chose to engage.
Each sermon is written as a complete teaching artifact and is available individually, with the full manuscript and a professionally designed PowerPoint presentation included in every download.
Questions Jesus Answered | What Do You Really Want?
Love God, Love People
A lawyer approaches Jesus with what sounds like a straightforward theological question: Which commandment matters most? It is an honest question, rooted in Scripture and tradition, and Jesus chooses to answer it directly. That choice alone signals the weight of the moment.
In this sermon, Jesus refuses to rank commandments or reduce obedience to hierarchy. Instead, He integrates love for God and love for neighbor into a single, inseparable reality. The message presses beyond slogans and familiarity, exposing how easily devotion becomes detached from relationship, and how often spiritual seriousness disguises misplaced priorities.
Written with pastoral clarity and theological depth, this sermon reframes discipleship as a question of desire and direction rather than rule-keeping. It invites listeners to consider what they are truly aiming at in their spiritual lives and why Jesus insisted that love sits at the center of everything.

Questions Jesus Answered | Whose Are You?
Image, Allegiance, and Identity
When Jesus is asked whether God’s people should pay taxes to Caesar, the question is not really about money. It is a trap designed to force a choice between political allegiance and faithfulness to God. Jesus answers, but not in the way anyone expects.
This sermon explores how Jesus reframes the entire conversation around image and belonging. Coins bear Caesar’s image and belong to him. People bear God’s image and belong to God. With a single response, Jesus moves the discussion from politics to identity, from external obligation to ultimate allegiance.
The message speaks powerfully into a world shaped by competing loyalties and loud claims on identity. It challenges listeners to consider who or what defines them and where their deepest allegiance truly lies, without reducing the text to partisan commentary.

Questions Jesus Answered | Who’s to Blame?
Suffering, Sin, and Redemption
Few questions are as persistent or as paralyzing as the question of why suffering happens. When the disciples encounter a man born blind, they ask Jesus to assign blame. Jesus answers, but He refuses to explain the suffering in the way they expect.
This sermon carefully unpacks how Jesus dismantles a deeply rooted theology that equates suffering with punishment and redirects attention toward redemption. Rather than offering explanations that would satisfy curiosity, Jesus offers a vision of God at work within brokenness, revealing that healing and restoration matter more than assigning fault.
Written with sensitivity and theological honesty, this sermon speaks directly to those carrying unresolved pain. It allows the tension of unanswered questions to remain while anchoring hope in the redemptive presence of God.
Included with this sermon is the full manuscript and a PowerPoint presentation designed to support thoughtful, pastoral delivery.
Questions Jesus Answered | Why Does Jesus Eat With Sinners?
Holiness, Proximity, and the Mission of Jesus
The religious leaders are scandalized not by Jesus’ teaching, but by His table. They question why He chooses proximity to sinners, and Jesus answers by revealing the very nature of holiness and His mission.
This sermon traces the shock of that moment and shows how Jesus reverses long-held assumptions. Holiness does not retreat from brokenness. It moves toward it. Jesus is not compromised by proximity to sinners. Sin is undone by proximity to Him.
With careful attention to Scripture and context, this message reframes holiness as active, healing, and relational. It challenges churches to rethink boundaries, community, and grace without softening the seriousness of sin or the cost of redemption.

Questions Jesus Answered | Why Don’t Your Disciples Fast?
Presence, Desire, and the New Way of Jesus
When Jesus is questioned about fasting, the concern appears spiritual and sincere. His answer, however, exposes a deeper issue: the difference between religious performance and genuine longing for God.
This sermon explores how Jesus reframes spiritual disciplines not as mechanisms to earn God’s presence, but as expressions of desire shaped by relationship. Fasting, in Jesus’ teaching, is not about public piety or religious comparison. It is about recognizing absence and longing for fullness.
The message speaks to exhaustion with performance-based spirituality and invites listeners into a vision of faith rooted in presence, intimacy, and transformation rather than metrics and appearances.
