    Taking the Lord's Name in Vain

    Steve Stratos | Exodus 20:7 1. While growing up, by what means did you seek a name for yourself? Where did you go to find it? 2. What does your name mean to you? 3. Explain a time where you were proud of your family name. 4. Explain a time when you wished you had a different name and why. 5. What is God revealing to you about the characteristics of the name high above every other name? How have you seen those attributes show up in your life, and what was the result?

    Idols of the Heart

    Steve Stratos | Exodus 20:4-6 1. What are some of the idols that you have embraced over the years (these could include “good things” that have robbed you of intimacy with God)? 2. How have these idols tried to shape your identity? 3. How have you experienced God’s jealousy and God’s correction? How have those experiences been different? 4. How has the god of this world used your cell phone to rob you of time to worship God? 5. What do you need to remove from being on the throne of your heart? What is the role of repentance?

    God Alone

    Ryan Moffat | Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other gods before me 1. Icebreaker & Heart Audit If you audited your daily schedule, budget, and thought life from this past week, what person, goal, or comfort is secretly competing with God for the #1 spot in your heart? 2. Culture & The Danger of Indifference C.S. Lewis noted that humans naturally praise whatever they value. Since we are hardwired to worship, where do you see our culture—or even your own heart—looking for safety and meaning when we grow bored or lukewarm toward God? How are you personally cultivating deeper heart felt worship in your own life? 3. Living Whole-Hearted Reflecting on the quote that Aslan “isn’t safe, but he’s good,” what is one area of your life where God is calling you to move past seeking comfort and to give Him your undivided, whole-hearted trust this week?

    The Gift of the Guardrails

    Ryan Moffat | 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 1. The Gift of Guardrails: Ryan shared a story about driving through a guardrail when ignoring speed limits and introduced the idea that God’s laws act as protective guardrails. When in your life have you viewed God’s commands as restrictive “buzzkills” rather than protective grace? How can shifting our perspective to see the Law as liberating change our daily walk with God? 2. The Primacy of Knowing God: The sermon emphasized that asking “Who is God?” is infinitely more important than asking “Who am I?” How does focusing on God’s character (e.g., the God who saves us first, as shown in Exodus before giving the commands) change the way we read and apply His instructions? 3. Gospel Before Law: In Exodus, God rescued Israel from slavery before giving them the Ten Commandments. Why is the order of Gospel first-Law second so critical for us today? What happens to our spiritual life when we reverse this order and try to keep the rules to earn God’s favor? 4. Moral Default vs. God’s Design: The sermon highlighted how modern culture rejects God’s commands yet invents its own “noncommandments” or rules (e.g., “Thou shalt be nice”). Where do you see cultural moral confusion or shifting rules creating tension in your own workplace, school, or friend groups? How can living out God’s design offer a better alternative?

    What Are You Boasting In?

    Steve Stratos | Galatians 6:11-18 1. How do you cultivate a discipline of sowing? What works and what doesn’t? 2. How has God been teaching you patience? What has helped you grow to become more patient? 3. Where have you experienced faithfulness and fruitfulness? Explain both! 4. What do you find yourself boasting in, and how does that manifest itself in your life? 5. Explain the significance of what Paul means when he says “the world has been crucified to me and I to the world?” (v. 14) Explain it theologically, psychologically and sociologically.

    Restored People, Restore People

    Jim Gurney | Galatians 5:22-6:5 1. Paul contrasts the “works of the flesh” and the “fruit of the Spirit”. Why do you think he refers to the flesh as “works” and the Spirit’s activity as “fruit”? Who is someone you know who bears a lot of Galatians 5 fruit? What have you learned watching them? 2. Paul says restored people “restore people” (Galatians 6:1-2). Who has done this for you? How did they do it? Who does the Lord want you to help restore (if anyone)? 3. Jim used the quote, “Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.” Paul uses similar language and says that people are “caught” or “stuck” by the power of sin. Do you see see people in sin through a lens of judgment or compassion? Paul emphasizes the attitude required for restoration (with gentleness, watching ourselves lest we too fall). How can you more faithfully embody the radical love and compassion of Christ to those who are stuck?

    Liberated to Love

    Ryan Moffat | Galatians 5:1-15 1. Identifying Our “Yokes” (The Trap of Legalism vs. Licentiousness) Sermon Context: The sermon highlighted two main traps or “obstacles” that rob us of true Gospel freedom: legalism (trying to earn God’s favor through performance, rules, or checking boxes) and licentiousness/hedonism (the cultural “you do you” script that uses freedom to indulge the flesh). Question: When you feel far from God or anxious about your faith, which way do you tend to lean—toward legalism (feeling like you have to perform and do more to prove your worth) or licentiousness (using grace as an excuse to ignore sin and chase self-indulgence)? What does it practically look like in your life when you’re carrying a heavy “yoke” instead of resting in Christ’s finished work? 2. Faith Working Through Love vs. Cultural “Love” Sermon Context: Galatians 5:6 says the only thing that counts is “faith working itself out through love.” The sermon pointed out that our culture defines love as total endorsement (“celebrate me as I am”), while legalism defines love as rigid performance. Jesus shows us that Gospel love both meets us where we are (no condemnation) and calls us to transformation (“go and sin no more”). Question: How does Jesus’ model of love—grace that meets people where they are and transforms them— differ from how our culture defines love today? In your everyday relationships (with family, coworkers, or neighbors), where do you find it hardest to balance giving grace without ignoring truth? 3. Moving from “Self-Preservation” to Neighbor-Love Sermon Context: The sermon concluded with the story of Pastor Ralph praying for a couple in Costco, showing that when we are truly liberated from self-preoccupation, we are free to notice, love, and serve the people right in front of us. Question: If you were completely confident and secure in your identity in Christ—unburdened by the need to prove yourself or satisfy the flesh—how would that change your week-to-week life in our community? What is one specific, tangible step you can take this week to “serve your neighbor in love” instead of focusing on yourself?

    Two Women, Two Sons, One Gospel

    Ryan Moffat | Galatians 4:28-31 1. Do you feel like you “have to make it happen?” Are you trying to navigate your way through life by manipulating, managing and negotiating? Application: This week when you face an impossible situation (like something as impossible as barrenness), what would it look like to focus on the PROMISE MAKER instead of the problem? What if you took time to reflect on the miracles of God? What if you said back the lines of the song: “Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, My God, that is who You are”? 2. Do you see all of life as a gift of unmerited, unearned, and therefore, SURPRISING grace? Application: This week, preach the gospel to yourself when life isn’t making sense. 3. Are you like the guy I spent time with a few weeks ago, saying, “I’m a good person,” or “I’ve done enough to earn my standing before God”? How would your life and relationships change if you stopped justifying yourself and received God’s justification? If God has justified you, who is there to condemn you? (Romans 8:33-34) 4. Are you living with a PURPOSE, a MISSION and a CONFIDENCE as Children of the Promise, and do you see persecution as a setback or as an opportunity?
