[Sunday] Ehud Left - His Eyes The Book of Judges
This week's judges cycle: we meet Ehud, the crippled lefty who reminds us that God's power shines brightest in weakness.
This week's judges cycle: we meet Ehud, the crippled lefty who reminds us that God's power shines brightest in weakness.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Indistinguishable
There is a consistent cycle in the book of Judges - rebellion, oppression, and then deliverance. Have you ever experienced a similar cycle in your own life? How can we break free from this cycle?
Read Judges Chapter 3. We see how God uses a seemingly weak and “left-handed” person, Ehud, as a judge. What are some of the ways we define strength today? How does the story of Ehud challenge these definitions?
We often try to hide our weaknesses. Can you share a time when you felt weak or vulnerable? How did you deal with it?
Read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. Connect the story of Ehud to the concept of God’s power being made perfect in weakness. What does this concept mean to you? Can you think of any other examples from the Bible or your own life that illustrate this concept?

[Sunday] Indistinguishable - His Eyes The Book of Judges
The book of Judges isn't a straight line but a cycle. Redemption and rebellion echo, reminding us how easily we stray. Prepare to see yourselves in the Israelites' struggles, becoming indistinguishable to the culture around us.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Indistinguishable
Read Judges 2:6-23. The book of Judges talks about a cycle the Israelites fall into. Can you identify the different stages of this cycle? How does this cycle relate to our own lives and the challenges we face?
The sermon mentions how easy it is to become indistinguishable from the culture around us. What are some ways this can happen in your daily life? How can we stay true to our values even when pressured to conform?
What does Jesus offer us that the judges in the book of Judges could not? How can faith in Jesus help us break free from cycles of sin and self-destruction?
Do you see living among non-believers as a problem, a possibility, or both? How can you live a good life among non-believers today?

[Sunday] Easter Peace - Comfort Comfort
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Easter Peace
Can you think of a time you hid from something difficult? What was it, and how did you eventually move forward?
Read John 20:1-23. The disciples were hiding after the resurrection. Why do you think they might be hiding, even though they know Jesus has risen?
Jesus shows up not hiding anything, leading with his wounds. How does the concept of Jesus’ sacrifice and his wounds change the way you view forgiveness and comfort that comes from Jesus?
Jesus encourages us to forgive others. Filled with the Spirit of Christ, how can you bring that peace and forgiveness to others?

[Sunday] Hosanna - Comfort Comfort
As Palm Sunday dawns, confusion swirls around Jesus' identity and mission. Jesus' final prayer is a plea for God's continued protection and unity amidst His followers' trials. This all foreshadows the sacrifice that will ultimately bring oneness through His resurrection.

[Sunday] Plainly Overcome - Comfort Comfort
As we approach the crucifixion, Jesus is giving comfort amidst coming hardship, revealing a deeper connection with the Father and to peace despite future scattering. All this echoes the story of Lazarus, where Jesus' power over death foreshadows His ultimate sacrifice for humanity.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Plainly Overcome
When are times when you’ve felt scattered in the world? When are times when you’ve caused others to feel scattered?
Read John 16:25-17:6. Jesus says that He speaks plainly and to take heart that He’s overcome the world. Describe some times when Jesus was scattered. How does Jesus overcome those times?
What does it mean that Jesus overcame the world for you?
