[Sunday] What Who - All Nations

The man asked Jesus the same question many have asked throughout time. What do I have to do to get to heaven? Jesus tells us a story about a man who was beaten and robbed and the outcast who cared for him. Turning our questions of what to who?

Questions for the Week

  1. In culture today, what lesson does the parable of the Good Samaritan teach us?

  2. Read Luke 10:25-37.   What question is asked of Jesus that he uses the parable to answer?

  3. How does Jesus move the story from “what” you must do in your faith, to “who” you are serving?   

  4. Who is your neighbor that God calls you to show mercy to this week?

[Sunday] Who Carried - All Nations

Jesus says all through the gospel to take up your cross. He was going to die but rise again and we should take up his cross. But after he was arrested, all his friends and followers were nowhere to be found to take up his cross. So then who carried it?

Questions for the Week

  1. Have you ever given up something in lent to help follow Jesus?  What did that experience teach you?

  2. Read Matthew 16:21-28.  What does it look like to pick up your cross, denying yourself and following Jesus?  How successful were the disciples at doing this?

  3. Read Matthew 27:31-33.  This is the first and only time Simon the Cyrene is mentioned in Matthew.   Where do you think the disciples were at this time?

  4. If you would have been a disciple how would you have felt to see someone else carrying the cross for Jesus?

  5. How does Jesus ultimately carry the cross for the disciples and for you?  What does this mean for your faith?

[Sunday] Self Differentiation- Faith and Family Dysfunction

If you are in Christ; your identity is not in what you’ve done, how you feel, or how others think of you. These things do not define you. Your identity is made in the image and likeness of God. Because of Jesus’ work on the cross, God sees you as His precious child, holy and dearly loved. Receive your identity, instead of trying to achieve it.

Questions for the Week

  1. When is a time you gave into peer pressure and lacked self-differentiation in a relationship in your life?  What was the result?

  2. Read Genesis 37:12-36.   How do Joseph's brothers fail to self-differentiate? What result does that have?

  3. Share a time when you know that Jesus was able to stop and self-differentiate?  What does that mean for you?

  4. There are many powerful voices that guide us from places like the TV, radio, print, and other social organizations. How can you make sure you think things through for yourself and like how Christ would have you do in those situations?

[Sunday] Bitterness - Faith and Family Dysfunction

Jacob was always a fighter. He fought for everything and left an angry wake behind him. But when he was left all alone, his bitterness and the thought of sure death just around the corner, he was able to get relief from the bitterness and havoc.

[Sunday] Triangles - Faith and Family Dysfunction

Remember that time when you asked your mom for something and she denied your request? Then you went straight to your dad and asked him. Yeah, that's making a triangle. It’s bad, but we do that all the time, and yet it needs to stop.

[Sunday] Named Anxiety - Faith and Family Dysfunction

Abraham looks at God's promises to him and tries to make them happen for himself. Oh, the havoc caused by not trusting God and who you really are! But God still brings peace with his promises.

Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]

Questions for the Week

  1. What situations have brought you anxiety? How have you handled them?

  2. Read Genesis 16.  How does Abram and Sarai handle the anxiety about not being able to conceive a son that was promised to them by God?  

  3. In what ways have you tried to control things rather than trusting God?  How has that added to your anxiety?

  4. Genesis 17:1-6, 15-21.  How does God remind Abram what his identity is?  

  5. How can remembering your identity as a child of God, a Christian or “little Christ,” bring you peace?

[Sunday] No Excuses - Faith and Family Dysfunction

Anxiety, pitting our family and friends against each other, group think, and bitterness - these all take life away from us and can cause us to live in despair. But when we look through the main story of Scripture, we see a family that is extremely dysfunctional, and yet God never leaves them, and we know them as the patriarchs.

Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]

Questions for the Week

  1. What do you think causes dysfunction in a family?

  2. Read Romans 3:23.  What does this tell us about our role in dysfunction?

  3. Read Romans 4.  Specifically look at verses 18-22.   How does God show His promise to Abraham, despite Abraham’s weakness?

  4. How have you seen God work in the midst of people’s dysfunction? How has God been faithful to his promises to you?
