    The World Did not Know Him

    While many do not receive Jesus, those who do receive him and believe in his name receive the most extraordinary gift: the right to be called children of God. Sermon Outline: I. The Witness II. The Light III. The Gift Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. Before you came to faith, or perhaps in a season when your faith was distant, what were you trusting in as your source of light and meaning? How did that compare to what you found in Jesus? 2. John the Baptist served to commend Jesus to the people of Israel. Who in your life played that role for you? And who in your current circle of relationships might need you to play that role for them? 3. Not all of us are equally gifted at being in relationships. For example, some of us are guarded, task-oriented, or just unwilling to be vulnerable. Others of us carry relational pain and hurt. Whatever your relational strengths or weaknesses are, how do those patterns show up in your relationship with Jesus? 4. Is there something you’ve been keeping “behind the curtain” in your relationship with Jesus? What would it look like this week to bring that thing into the open with him?

    The Word was God

    The Word who is God, who made all things, and who carries life and light into darkness is inviting us to know him personally. Sermon Outline: I. We Must Know Jesus as the Eternal Son. II. We Must Know Jesus as the Creator. III. We Must Know Jesus as Life and Light. Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. How much do you relate to the distinction between knowing about Jesus versus actually knowing him? What do you think has contributed to that gap in your own life, and what do you think closing it would look like? 2. Why do you suppose so many regular church attenders fail to recognize the full divinity of Jesus? How does it change the way you pray, trust, and relate to Jesus if you truly believe he is not just a great teacher but God himself in the flesh? 3. Is there something about Jesus (eg. his character, something he said or did) that you’ve discovered over time that has deepened your love for him?  4. When you consider that Jesus is the creator of all the things you love in this world, does it change how you experience them? Is there something in the created world that you particularly love? What would it mean to begin receiving it as a gift from a person rather than just enjoying it as a feature of the world? 5. Many people try to receive the benefits of Jesus while keeping a safe relational distance from Jesus himself. Is that a temptation you recognize in yourself? What would it look like this week to move toward Jesus as a person, rather than simply drawing on what he provides?

    Why Did Jesus Leave?

    Why did Jesus leave? It’s a question many of us feel but rarely ask out loud. Psalm 110 reveals that, despite our perception, Jesus isn’t distant or absent. He is actively reigning, interceding, and tirelessly fighting our enemies. He will crush the enemies we face in the world and those that dwell inside of us.     Sermon Outline:  I.   Priestly Kingship  II.   His Purpose and Power III.   His People IV.   Conclusion   Sermon Discussion Questions:   In your own “Odyssey” story, where do you most feel the tension between waiting and trusting in Christ during his absence? How can Psalm 110 help ease that tension? The sermon emphasizes that Jesus is currently ruling and “making his enemies his footstool,” even when it doesn’t look like it from our limited perspective. What are some areas in your life or in the world where it feels like Jesus is not winning, and how does Psalm 110 challenge that perception? What does it reveal about the nature of our salvation and sanctification that an enemy of our sacrificial priest and ruling king is found within us?   What specific sins or patterns in your life do you sense Jesus is presently battling, and how have you responded to his work (i.e., with resistance, avoidance, or surrender)? How might you intentionally reshape your prayer life this week so that you join Christ in his battle and ask him to actively put your sin to death and advance his rule in your heart and in the world?

    Don’t Miss Jesus

    What if the most extraordinary Person in the universe stepped into your everyday life…and you missed Him? In Luke 10, Martha welcomes Jesus, serves Him, and believes in Him...and still misses what matters most. This Sunday, we’ll see how easy it is to miss Jesus…even with good things...and what it looks like to be truly captivated by Him. Don’t just be near Him. Don’t just stay busy for Him. Fix your eyes on Him. Don’t miss Jesus. Sermon Outline: I.  Missing Jesus.  II. Mesmerized by Jesus.  Small Group Questions: 1. In Luke 10:38-42, what do you learn about who Jesus is from the way He responds to Martha...and what does that reveal about His heart toward you?  2. Martha is distracted by good things, not bad things. What “good things” in your life are most likely causing you to miss Jesus right now?  3. Mary is focused on the person of Jesus, not just a general idea of God. What’s the difference...and how does that show up in your daily life?  4. Jesus says, “one thing is necessary.” How does what He has already done for you free you from striving...and invite you to rest your attention on Him? 5. What would it look like this week (espeically Holy Week) not just to avoid missing Jesus...but to be captivated by Him? Where might you need to slow down, listen, and give Him your attention?

  7. Resist the Devil

    MAR 22

    Resist the Devil

    We have an enemy in our midst. Behind our trials, our frustrations, our confusion, our despair, our wanting to quit is not only our own sinful tendencies, but a personal enemy bent on destroying us. But in Christ we don’t have to be victims anymore.  Sermon Outline: I. Our Adversary II. Our Responsibility III. Our Assurance Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. Where do you most often fail to recognize spiritual attack in your life (e.g., criticism, success, conflict, temptation)? How might greater awareness change your response in those moments? 2. What does it practically look like for you to be “firm in your faith” when you are struggling? Can you identify a specific promise of God that you need to cling to right now? 3. Satan’s oldest tactic is convincing us that God is withholding something good, and that we can get that good thing through disobedience. Where do you see this pattern playing out in your life or the world around you? What truth about God’s character pushes back against that lie? 4. How does an eternal perspective reshape the way you experience present trials? Where do you need God to restore, strengthen, or establish you right now that could become a focus for prayer? 5. How well does your small group or church community function as a source of strength and resistance against the enemy, and what is one thing you could do to invest more deeply in those relationships?

  8. Grace To The Humble

    MAR 15

    Grace To The Humble

    That we must humble ourselves is the major point of this passage, and we see this theme repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. But just because it is common in Scripture does not mean it is common in our faith and practice. We are proud and we are inclined to exalt ourselves even when it means God opposes us. Yet grace is promised to the humble. So what does it look like for Christians to live humbly? Sermon Outline: I. Christians Subject Themselves in Humility. II. Christians Dress Themselves in Humility. III. Christians Unburden Themselves in Humility. Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. What is the difference between performing humility and actually being humble? How might we tell the difference? 2. What are some practical ways younger believers can show humility and respect toward older believers in the church? How can we do the same toward those who hold the office of “elder” in the church?  3. What would it look like for humility to shape the way we interact with others in everyday situations (family conflict, work disagreements, church decisions)? 4. Why do you think it is difficult to give our cares and anxieties to God? When is it difficult for you to believe that God cares for you? 5. How does reflecting on Christ’s humility change the way you think about serving others or submitting to God? What is one specific area of your life this week where you want to practice humility?
