    ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Generosity

    Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | March 1, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Matthew 28:20, Luke 12:13-34, Exodus 16:16-20, Luke 11:2-4, 1 Timothy 6:6-19, Luke 16:13-15 Reflection Questions: 1. In what ways am I choosing to depend on God’s generosity for my felt need? And in what ways am I restricting God’s generosity by my own self sufficiency? 2. Is the way I relate to money more reflective to the American economy or God’s economy? What is one step, just one practical change, that I can make to live more generously in my relationship to money and possessions. 3. Stay committed to developing a personal rhythm of confession. Begin giving attention to what this practice of confession could look like in your everyday life, and let it lead you into greater freedom, honesty and forgiveness. 4. Choose generosity to counteract greed. Greed is taking more than we need for ourselves, regardless of how that affects others. This week consider where you can be generous. Ask yourself: What do I have more than enough of? And who could I share it with? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

    ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Together

    Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | February 8, 2026 Referenced Scripture: John 13:34-35, Ephesians 5:25, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Ephesians 3:4-6 Reflection Questions: 1. Mission Statement: Together, we lead people in becoming All In followers of Jesus. — Do you believe that an ALL IN follower of Jesus must live out their faith TOGETHER with other believers? Why or why not? 2. Read John 13:34-35 — How would you describe the way Jesus has loved us? What adjectives would you use? How is it even possible for us to love other people in that same way? 3. Jesus said the defining characteristic of an ALL IN follower is seen in our love for one another. How would you evaluate your love for other followers? How would you evaluate other followers' love for you? 4. Can we love Jesus while at the same time not be actively loving His church (other followers)? Why or why not? 5. What makes it difficult for you to love other followers this way? What barriers do you need to overcome? What are some practical ways you could seek to overcome those barriers? 6. For us to be known and loved (and to love and know others) requires vulnerability. What makes vulnerability difficult for people? Difficult for you? How can we create environments that foster greater vulnerability? 7. Shame → Shame isn’t just feeling bad about yourself; it’s a deep fear that you are unloveable; that if people knew who you really were, they would reject you. 8. How can shame create a barrier to authentic loving relationships? How can we overcome shame? How can we help others overcome shame? 9. How might Sunday Gatherings be different if everyone showed up with a mindset to know and love other people? What is something practical you can do this week to approach our gatherings differently? 10. How could your small group grow in the ability to know and love one another? What’s your next step?

  6. ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Spirit Filled Life

    FEB 1

    ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Spirit Filled Life

    Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  February 1, 2026 Referenced Scripture:  Matthew 11:28-30, Ezekiel 36:25-28, John 16:7, Romans 8:10-11, Galatians 3:2-3, Galatians 5:25   Reflection Questions: 1. When you realize that the invitation to follow Jesus means we actually are expected to become like Him, how do you respond to that idea?  Why can that thought be overwhelming?  Does this seem impossible?  Why or why not? 2. Read Matthew 11:28-30 What were the two uses of the word “yoke” that Jesus is referring to here?  Describe the imagery of being “yoked” to Jesus like two oxen?  How does that imagery help us understand how we are to walk our life with Jesus?  How does this help us to become like Jesus?   3. If we are weary and burdened in our life, what does that say to us about our walk with Jesus and our connection to Him?  How can Jesus actually make our yoke easy and our burden light?  Does that mean that everything in life will be easy and light?  Why or why not?   4. True life in Jesus is found when we surrender our lives fully to Him.  What does it mean to surrender fully to Jesus?  Why can that word be difficult for us to deal with?  What makes actually surrendering difficult for you?   5. How does surrendering to Jesus actually bring freedom and life to our souls?  Explain.   What things in this life can we become free of through surrendering?  Explain.   6. The opposite of surrender is control?  How can trying to control everything in life be exhausting?  (making us weary and burdened)   7. Reflect on the illustration from the sermon of the clenched fist vs the open palm.  What did that experience show you?  Where in your life do you need to unclench your fist and open your hands?   8. Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  What wisdom do you see in this simple prayer?  How could this be helpful in your learning to surrender?   9. Describe Spiritual breathing… What is exhaling?  →  why is confession of sin important? What is inhaling?  →  how can we tangibly give control to the Spirit? 10. If peace in your soul is evidence of a surrendered life… How surrendered is your life today on a scale 1-10?  Explain. If anxiety in your soul is evidence of a need to surrender… How anxious is your life today on a scale 1-10?  Explain. 11. Where do you need to surrender control in your life to Jesus today?   What’s your next step?  Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Following Jesus is becoming like Jesus and imitating his life.
Why is learning about Jesus not enough? Is it possible that we can learn much about Jesus without being transformed by Him? Explain. 3. How can you know if you are being transformed by Jesus? What would be true of your life if Jesus was changing you? How can you see this in yourself and in others? 4. Read Romans 12:2
What things in this world can form us besides Jesus? What things have formed your life besides Jesus? 
How can a person know who or what is forming their life? 5. How can we intentionally be formed by Jesus rather than unintentionally formed by the world around us? 6. Framework of becoming like Jesus… (Triangle)
Imitating His love Relationships:
UP - love for the Father
IN - love for the Family of God
OUT - love for the Broken World In your own word describe how Jesus modeled these.
Which one of these comes most naturally to you?
Which one is the most challenging for you? 7. Why is it important that we are clear with others (and ourselves) what it means to be a follower of Jesus? 8. The invitation is not to be with Jesus when you die…
It’s to die with Jesus while you live…
Agree or disagree with this statement? Why? 9. Assignment: 
Choose a gospel and read through it with these questions in mind…
How would I imitate what I see in Jesus in my own life?
What would I need to start doing? Stop doing? Keep doing?
How would my life be different if I took imitating Jesus seriously? What’s your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

    ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: The Invitation is the Definition

Give some examples.What does that say about God that the bar to entry from a cultural perspective was really low? What thoughts might you have had in observing who Jesus chose to be his closest followers? Explain. 2) Wants to be my disciple “Wants” implies it is a choice that we make to follow Jesus or not. Why do you think Jesus would give us a choice and not demand that we love and follow Him? Can love be forced? Explain. 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. 3) Must deny themselves What do you think Jesus meant by this? What does this NOT mean? Explain. What has it cost you to follow Jesus? Why is it important to know up front that following Jesus can and will be costly? Is there an area of your life that you find difficult to surrender to Jesus (or an area you find it difficult to follow)? Explain, why? 4) Take up their cross daily and follow me. What did the symbol of the cross mean to a first century person? How is that different from how we view the symbol?Why does that appear to be a “bad marketing” strategy by Jesus? What do you think he was trying to be clear about?How have you experienced humility, suffering, and death as a follower of Jesus?Do you ever experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) because you are a follower of Jesus? Explain. Luke 9:24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 5) Explain what Jesus is promising in this statement. Have you experienced the reality of this promise? Why or why not? 6) How do you need to take up your cross TODAY in order to follow Jesus? Why do we need to do this DAILY? 7) What do we do if our heart grows cold, hard, tired, or apathetic? Read Revelation 2:1-5 8) Why is repentance always the answer when we are off track in following Jesus? 9) Being an ALL IN follower of Jesus is about DIRECTION and NOT PERFECTION.What does that statement mean? Agree or disagree? Why? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!
