[Sunday] Christ the King
Just as Christ is “the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end,” at the close of every liturgical year, we look forward, with renewed hope, to Christ’s coming again in glory to reign as Lord forever. In the same way, we also look forward to our own resurrection and the time of a new earth — an earth that is no longer broken by sin and groaning. Christ will come again in glory just as surely as He came the first time, when He was born. So we have these three weeks of “transition” at the end of the “long green season” into the Advent Season: the new beginning of the liturgical year.

Questions for the Week
Skim over Matthew 23-25. What is Jesus primarily talking about? How does it make you feel?
Think of a time when things seemed out of control in your life. Where did you think God was in that time?
Read Matthew 25:31. At the end times where does Jesus say he (the son of man) will be?
Read Matthew 25:32-40. How do the sheep (the righteous) respond when Jesus tells them all the good kingdom of God work they had been doing and welcomes them into his kingdom? Think of a time when you didn’t realize when God was doing his Kingdom work through you as you were his hands and feet loving others.

[Sunday] Rain on Enemies - The Party
Look at the party the father is throwing. The whole town is there. Even that scoundrel Matt is there who stole from the father’s business. I can’t even believe he is throwing this party for that son who took everything from him. But did you hear about the drama with the older son? He is refusing to go into the party? After all it is raining on all the party.

Questions for the Week
1. Read John 3:16. What gift does God promise you? Why does He give you this gift?
2. Read Matthew 5:43-48. Why does Jesus say to love your enemies?
3. Why does loving your enemies show God’s abundance and His generosity towards you?
4. When you look at the world with the eyes of Jesus, seeing God’s abundance all around, how does your view of the world change? How might this view change the way you live?

Questions for the Week
Describe a time you saw someone hoarding more than they should have. What motivated them to act in this manner?
Read Genesis 3:1-13. How does the voice of the serpent try to tempt Eve? Who do you think the serpent wants Eve to trust?
When have you been tempted by this same voice, trying to convince you that you don’t have enough? How does this voice move you to act towards possessions?
In times of crisis, a scarcity mindset—focusing on what we don’t have—can easily cause us to cling to worldly goods. Do you experience this? What would you and others around you gain by trusting God’s generous love instead?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
