    Encounter In The Wilderness | Finding Our Way In The Wilderness | Week 2

    Have you ever found yourself in a place you didn’t choose…a season you didn’t pray for…a situation where life just felt unfair…where you felt isolated, rejected, lost or confused…where you wondered, ‘God, do You see me?’. The Bible calls that place the wilderness. It's a place where we go when life really pushes us out… We’ll see that: The wilderness is where expectations die… but revelation is born.  The place you thought would break you may actually be the place God uses to reveal Himself to you. God is always at work in us when we find ourselves in the wilderness. The wilderness may be where people leave you…But it is also where God meets you. We’ll learn about Hagar’s experience in the wilderness and how God always meets us at our lowest point and transforms us as we go through these very trying times. Discussion Questions: 1. Have you experienced a wilderness season in your life? What happened? What did God reveal to you? Share. 2. Do you feel you’re in your own wilderness season right now? Feeling unseen or unheard or overlooked? Share. a. Ask yourself: Where is God right now – Ask God where He is right now. b. Ask God for His perspective on your situation and your future 3. Do you know someone going through a wilderness season? What can you do to support and encourage them? 4. In this week’s sermon, we learned about the life of Nick Vujicic. What can we learn about God from his story? What can we learn from Nick?

    Servility vs. Servanthood | Made For More | Week 4

    In the final message of the Made for More series, we encourage the church to move from sitting to serving, from consuming to contributing, and from comfort to calling—stepping into a life of Spirit-empowered obedience and everyday mission. God has designed every believer on purpose and for a purpose, and He has already prepared assignments for us to walk in—right where we live, work, study, and serve. From classrooms to kitchens, offices to neighborhoods, every follower of Jesus is called to be a visible representative of heaven on earth. Discussion Questions: 1. The sermon challenged the idea that preaching only happens on a stage. Where is your “pulpit” right now in everyday life? 2. In what ways have you unintentionally treated church more like a set of bleachers than a training facility? What would it look like to shift that mindset? 3. What spiritual gifts or passions has God placed in you that might need more intentional development or stewardship? If you haven’t taken the Spiritual Gifts Assessment, you can do so here: https://gifts.ediphai.com/ 4. Refer back to the Servanthood vs Servility Chart. When you serve or use your gifts, what usually motivates you—love, obligation, recognition, fear, or something else? How can your motivation be realigned with servanthood? 5. What specific environments has God placed you in right now (work, school, family, community)? How might He be inviting you to represent Him more intentionally there? 6. What is one concrete step you can take this week to live more “sent”—either by serving, engaging someone intentionally, or stepping into a ministry opportunity? 7. Pray for one another

    Spiritual Gifts Part 2 | Made For More | Week 3

    Following last week's introduction to Spiritual Gifts, we explore how our individual spiritual gifts are given within a community and for the benefit of a community. Every individual Christian has a unique design that includes their spiritual gifts, and God also designs entire Christian communities with the spiritual gifts given to individual Christians. Every church, especially C4 Church, needs Christians using every spiritual gift in order to fulfill the mission that God has called us to. Every gift is given by the same Spirit to serve the same Lord, and the same God is at work in all of us while we use our diverse gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)! Discussion Questions:  1. Do you know your spiritual gifts? If "Yes," how have you been using them? If "No," the best thing we can do following this message is to spend time discovering what they might be: 2. Pray - Spend 5-10 min sitting with the Lord. Ask Him how He has gifted you and/or where he has called you to serve. Ask him to lead and guide you on this journey of discovery. 3. Wise counsel: Who are spiritual friends or mentors that you could ask about possible gifts they see in you? When is your next opportunity to ask them that question? 4. Personal Reflection: Think about the activities you do that you feel God has called you to do, as a Christian. It could be serving at church, or it could in your work or personal life. Are there activities that regularly frustrate you? Are there activities that regularly bring you joy? Are there activities that you find surprisingly easy or natural? 5. "Get on the Field" --- What's an area of ministry or service that you feel passionate about? How might you be able to start volunteering or serving in that area? 6. Take a Spiritual Gifts Assessment. AFTER Doing #2-5, consider taking the Ediphai Spiritual Gifts Assessment at: https://gifts.ediphai.com/ . Set aside at least 20 minutes to complete the assessment. 7. Pray again, asking God to lead you on this journey of discovering and developing your spiritual gifts. Commit to God that you will use the gifts He gives you for His purposes.

    Every Member Is A Minister | Made For More | Week 1

    In the opening message of our Made for More series, we begin with a foundational truth: Every member is a minister. As the new year settles into everyday life, many of us wrestle with questions of purpose and belonging. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10, we’re reminded that while we are saved by grace, we are saved for good works. We are God’s workmanship—His poiema—intentionally designed and placed in the body of Christ for a purpose. This message challenges the idea that ministry is reserved for pastors or church staff. Scripture shows us that every believer has a role to play, and when we stop seeing church as something we attend and start seeing it as a body we belong to, our purpose shifts from inward to outward. You are not just an attender or a consumer—you are a minister. The question isn’t whether God wants to use you, but whether you’re willing to step into the part He’s already given you. Discussion Questions: 1. What stood out to you most from this message, and why do you think it resonated with you? 2. Ephesians 2:10 says we are God’s workmanship (poiema). How does seeing yourself as God’s intentional creation shape the way you view your gifts, passions, or even your past experiences? 3. Paul says God placed each part in the body just as He wanted them to be. Where do you sometimes feel like you don’t quite fit—or feel tempted to disqualify yourself? What might God be saying to you through that? 4. The message described ministry as ordinary obedience—small, often interruptive moments. Can you share a time when God used a simple, everyday moment to impact someone (or when you sensed He was inviting you to)?
