[Sunday] Not Ashamed - Hold Fast: 2nd Timothy
While Paul sits in dirty chains, he encourages those who hear to view weakness, suffering, and shame not through the lens of the shaming world but through the cross of Jesus.
- When we have wanted to avoid them at all costs to stay away from evil, Jesus prays, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.”
Questions for the Week: Hold Fast: Paul's 2nd Letter of Timothy - Not Ashamed
Can you share a time when you felt weak but God joined you in your weakness? How can we better embrace our vulnerabilities and trust in God's strength?
Read 2 Timothy 1. Why does Paul call out Phygelus and Hermogenes? When are we tempted to push aside others in pursuit of power?
Are there areas in your life where you feel ashamed? How can we apply the message of the cross to overcome these feelings?

New Song, Luther's If God Had Not Been On Our Side
Classic song of Martin Luther
Here is Grace’s Recording for Sunday
Listen to the Orginal
On August 11th 2024 we are singing
”If God Had Not Been On Our Side”
This is a song of Martin Luther.
We are using an updated tune
Martin Luther, 1483-1546; tr. The Lutheran Hymnal, St. Louis, 1941, alt.
Tune: Christian Egenolff, 1502-1555
adapted by Ralph Vaughan Williams, from Enlarged Songs of Praise
Arr: Koiné
1. If God had not been on our side and had not come to aid us,
our foes with all their pow'r and pride would surely have dismayed us,
for we, his flock, would have to fear the devil's wolves, both far and near,
.… who rise in might against us.
Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would surely have consumed us
And as a deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us.
A hellish storm would o'er us roll From Satan, who desires our soul
And seeks to overwhelm us.
3. Blest be the LORD, who foiled their threat that they could not devour us.
Our souls, like birds, escaped their net; they could not overpow'r us.
The snare is broken— we are free! Our helper and our strength is he
…. who made the earth and heavens.
Hold Fast: 2 Timothy: Paul's Last Letter (Teaching Series)
Paul sits in prison as the weather gets colder. He's writing to his friend Timothy, encouraging him to remember the Gospel and his humble upbringing in it, to watch out for those who are ashamed of the marks of Christ, and for Timothy to bring him a coat. Hold Fast to the humble faith, Timothy!

Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 -Them
What motivates a church to circle the wagons and escape from the culture around it? On the other hand, what pushes a church into its mission field?
Read John 17:1-26. Jesus prayed that His disciples would be sent into the world. What does this mean to you? How can we actively participate in God's mission in our daily lives?
We are all sinners. How does understanding this truth impact your relationships with others? How does it change the way you view yourself and those around you?

She was sitting in stagnant water, but Jesus gives her living water which floods her being and pushes her to give good news to so many in her town.
- She was sitting in stagnant water, but Jesus gives her living water which floods her being and pushes her to give good news to so many in her town.
Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 - Living Water
What is the difference between stagnant water and running/living water?
Read John 4:1-42. What stagnant water has the Samaritan woman experienced?
How does the “living water” that Jesus brings change this woman?
Think of someone you know who is surrounded by stagnant water. How might the Spirit work in you to bring living water to them?

[Sunday] Rain On Enemies - Missio Dei
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 was raining on the whole party.

Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 - Rain On Enemies
Read John 3:16. What gift does God promise you? Why does He give you this gift?
Read Matthew 5:43-48. Why does Jesus say to love your enemies?
Why does loving your enemies show God’s abundance and His generosity towards you?
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?
Here are the Original Series.
