BIBLE READING CHALLENGE Jeremiah 5–__; 1 Timothy __ SUNDAY DISH Week four of The Good Life explores what it means for the church to be God’s household.

Q2: Facing the Truth Doug, what did the story about Annabell and spaghetti reveal about yourself? How do you respond when a truth challenges your perspective? Q3: God’s Household How does Paul’s picture of the church as a family connect with our culture today? What makes living that out challenging? Q4: God in Community Tim Keller said there’s no more important means of discipleship than deep involvement in the life of the church. What do you think he meant, and how do we experience God through community? Q5: When Does Life Change Happen? How do we know when we’re growing spiritually? What part do we play, and how does God bring about change through our relationships? Q6: Sharing the Truth How can we share the core truths of our faith in ways people can understand and remember?

    Episode 313 - The Good Life: Start With A Solid Foundation

    Got a question? Let us know! Made for MondaysINTRO | GUESTS Host: Heather Guests: Jamey, Doug, RaChelle WEEKEND CHITCHAT Quick catch-up on what everyone did outside of work. BIBLE READING CHALLENGE Isaiah 19–36, Ephesians 2–6, Philippians 1–2 SUNDAY DISH We kicked off our new fall series, The Good Life, with 1 Timothy 1. Jamey challenged us to consider what people see when they look at Jesus’ church. Paul confronts teaching that creates insiders and outsiders, then points to his own story as evidence of Jesus’ mercy and patience. The goal? Let God’s grace form us into people whose love makes Jesus visible. Q1: When Have You Felt Like an Outsider? When was the last time you walked into a place where you didn’t know anyone? What helped you feel welcome? Q2: When Traditions Divide What are some ways Christian traditions or preferences can create insiders and outsiders? Follow-up: Who has made following Jesus appealing to you by the way they lived? Q3: The Goal Is Love Paul says the goal of his instruction is love. How can we tell the difference between teaching that forms us in Jesus and arguments that simply make us feel right? Q4: Grace That Changes Us “Most people do not need to be told they’re failing; they need to be reminded God loves them in spite of it.” How do we offer that reassurance while still inviting people to be changed by Jesus? Q5: Making Jesus Visible The Big Idea says, “The way of Jesus becomes believable when it becomes visible in us.” When is it easiest—or hardest—for you to display the Good Life? Follow-up: Who might we need to move toward as a church family? Q6: Still Becoming What would you say to someone who feels like their slow progress means they’re failing? Follow-up: What’s one hopeful next step they can take this week? JOIN US SUNDAY! “We’re excited to continue The Good Life this Sunday!

    Episode 311 - Receipt: Paid in Full

    Got a question? Let us know! Made for MondaysEpisode No. 311 | September 28, 2026 INTRO | GUESTS Host: Joe Guests: Jamey, Christina, Megs Anderson WEEKEND CHITCHAT Quick catch-up: “What did y’all get into this weekend?” BIBLE READING CHALLENGE “What stood out to you from this week’s reading?” SUNDAY DISH In the final week of Receipt, Pastor Jamey connects God’s gift of grace with how we handle everything He’s entrusted to us. Jesus has paid our sin debt in full, so our generosity becomes a grateful response to what He’s already done. When Jesus is #1, our priorities change: receive with gratitude, return in worship, cultivate with wisdom, and enjoy with freedom. Q1: A Little Joy What small purchase reliably makes an ordinary day better for you? Q2: The Receipt Tells the Story Jamey, you talked about the gap between seeing yourself as frugal and what your spending summary actually showed. When have your receipts surprised you about what really matters to you? Q3: Why the First Tenth You mentioned tithing before the Law of Moses and Jesus’ teaching about it. Can you walk us through those passages and how they shape our church’s approach to giving today? Q4: A Heart That Follows You said, “The tithe isn’t primarily about funding the church. It’s about forming the worshiper.” What have you noticed changing in you and Bonnie as you’ve grown in generosity? Follow-up: What might someone miss if they wait to feel generous before they begin? Q5: Trust When It Feels Tight The Big Idea asks, “If Jesus is #1 in my life, how should I handle what He’s given me?” For someone already stretched thin, what is a faithful first step, and how can our church help? Follow-up: How does remembering that Jesus has already paid our debt keep giving from becoming an attempt to earn God’s approval? Q6: A Different Kind of Freedom What could we decide before our next paycheck to help us save wisely and enjoy God’s gifts without comparing our lives to anyone else’s? Follow-up: What would growth look like if our income stayed exactly the same? JOIN US SUNDAY! “We are all very excited about this coming Sunday! Awesome!!

    Episode 310 - Receipt: Return Policy

    Got a question? Let us know! Made for MondaysEpisode No. 310 | September 21, 2026 INTRO | GUESTS Host: Joe Guests: Jamey, Chelle, Scott WEEKEND CHITCHAT Quick catch-up: “What did y’all get into this weekend?” BIBLE READING CHALLENGE “What stood out to you from this week’s reading?” SUNDAY DISH Week three of Receipt, Pastor Jamey’s message “Return Policy” takes us back to the Garden to rethink how we handle everything God has placed in our hands. Our possessions can’t carry the weight of our identity or security. Instead, we’re called to receive God’s gifts with gratitude, enjoy them, cultivate what He’s entrusted to us, and share them with others. Q1: The Box in the Trunk When a purchase needs to go back, do you return it right away or let it ride around in your trunk for a month? Q2: When More Becomes a Burden Jamey, you talked about possessions promising peace but sometimes creating anxiety. When has something you thought would make life easier actually added pressure? Q3: Before There Was Money Why start a message about money in Genesis 1, before money even existed? Follow-up: What does that teach us about the difference between owning something and being entrusted with it? Q4: Enjoy the Gift You said, “God’s gifts are meant to be enjoyed.” Where’s the line between enjoying what God has given us and depending on it for security? Q5: The Bread in Our Hands The Big Idea asks, “What does God want me to do with everything He has placed in my hands?” When someone beside us has far less, what makes that question difficult to act on? Follow-up: What could we do together as a church that would be harder to do alone? Q6: More to Offer Than We Think For someone who feels like they have little to offer, where would you start in helping them recognize a gift God has already placed in their hands? Follow-up: What’s one small way they could cultivate and share it this week? JOIN US SUNDAY! “We are all very excited about this coming Sunday! Awesome!!
