    Leader Guide 2026: Fall Week 3

    Week 3 Leaders Podcast: Ready for the Groom (Matthew 25:1–13) Leader Mailbag - Tell Us!: for questions, stories and "telling on your people." It asks permission to share, and shows a "check with them first" box when the story is about someone else.Kinship Question Feedback: takes about 30 seconds. It asks whether everyone in the group answered, which matters more than whether people liked the question.. And don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter James Browning, North Coast’s new global adult ministries pastor, introduces week three updates to the podcast, leader guide, and website, invites feedback via jbrowning@northcoastchurch.com, and walks leaders through Chris’s sermon on Matthew 25:1–13 (“If Heaven Is Real, Am I In or Out?”). He highlights key leader guide prompts (what you check/count down to, living ready vs knowing Jesus is coming back, assurance passages, “own oil vs borrowed oil,” grace not transferable, Galatians 6) and the new optional Kinship Question (“Who are you becoming more like?”) with a request for feedback. In “The Rabbit Hole,” he explains the “lamps” as oil-soaked torches, outlines ancient wedding customs, and connects the shut door to Noah and Jesus’ warnings (“I never knew you”). He coaches leaders for three sensitive moments: salvation assurance, making faith personal, and grief over loved ones far from Jesus, and ends by urging leaders to check their own “torch,” prepare tissues, and share questions/wins/stories.
