An Overview of the End Times May 19, 2024 An Overview of the End Times Sermon Series: The Church Never Preaches On... Download PDF Mark 13:32-37 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Main Idea Christ has announced He will return, so we need to be prepared. Outline 1. We don't know when it will happen, so we must stand guard. (vv32-33) 2. We don't know when the King will return, so we must stay awake. (vv34-37) Pre-Questions 1. Before we start, take a moment to humble yourself when we start talking about end times. This topic can be divisive. Our goal in this discussion isn't to leave with a perfectly mapped-out picture of the way end times will be played out. Love your fellow community group members and seek to worship together in unity. Discussion Questions 1. When the bible talks about end times, what kind of literature is that? (Hint: it has to do with the word apocalypse) What kind of language is used in apocalyptic literature (literal or metaphorical)? 2. Read Isaiah 11:6–9. How does this help us understand this topic? How is this a reversal of the fall? 3. Read Revelation 11:15–19. How does this help us find comfort and encouragement?

The Warning of Justice November 10, 2024 The Warning of Justice Sermon Series: Obadiah Download PDF Obadiah 1:10-18 Main Idea God's justice is found in His judgement. Outline 1. God judges sin of omission (vv10-11) 2. God judges sin of commission (vv12-14) 3. God judges sin to bring justice (vv15-16) 4. God judges sin to bring restoration (vv17-18) Pre-Questions When you think about the concept of justice, what comes to mind? How does our culture’s view of justice compare with what you understand about God’s justice? Have you ever witnessed a situation where someone stood by and did nothing in the face of wrongdoing? How did that make you feel, and what do you think was lost by their inaction? Discussion Questions In verses 10-11, Edom is condemned for standing by and doing nothing while Jerusalem was attacked. How does this concept of “sin by omission” challenge our understanding of responsibility toward others? Reflect on James 4:17, which states, “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” How can this verse encourage us to be more proactive in our relationships and communities? In verses 12-14, Edom actively participated in Israel’s suffering. How does this show the destructive impact of actions taken against others, even if indirectly? Consider Proverbs 24:17-18, which warns against rejoicing in someone else’s downfall. How can we guard our hearts against this attitude, especially in a culture that sometimes celebrates others’ misfortune? Verses 17-18 describe a future where Israel is restored. How does this promise of restoration after judgment reflect God’s ultimate purpose for redemption? Read 1 Peter 5:10, which says that after we have suffered, God will “restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish” us. How does God’s promise of restoration encourage you in your faith journey, especially during times of hardship?

Punishment or Paradise August 25, 2024 Punishment or Paradise Sermon Series: It Had To Be Said Download PDF Luke 23:39-43 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Main Idea Because Jesus Endured the Punishment of the Crucifixion We Can Have the Paradise of Heaven Outline 1. When confronted with Christ we can either judge him or judge ourselves. 2. When presented with Christ we can either reject him or accept him. Pre-Questions Discussion Questions Contrasting Reactions: What do you think caused the two criminals to respond so differently to Jesus? How do their responses reflect common reactions people have towards Jesus today? Acknowledging Guilt: The second criminal recognizes his guilt and Jesus' innocence. How important is it to acknowledge our own faults in our relationship with God? How does this recognition impact our understanding of grace? Jesus' Response: Jesus promises the repentant criminal, "Today you will be with me in paradise." What does this statement reveal about Jesus' character and His kingdom? How does this promise provide hope for us? Personal Reflection: Have you ever experienced a moment of realizing your need for Jesus' mercy, similar to the second criminal? How did that experience change your relationship with God?

Caring for Widows January 12, 2025 Caring for Widows Sermon Series: Womb to Tomb Download PDF Exodus 22:22-24 Main Idea God's people are to share God's heart to care for those who can't care for themselves Outline God has concern for those who are neglected. {Exodus 22:22-23} God has condemnation for those who are unjust. Exodus 22:24} Pre-Questions James 1:27 describes pure religion as looking after orphans and widows in their distress. How does this verse challenge our current practices in caring for widows within our church community? When you hear the term ‘pro-life,’ what aspects of life come to mind? How does caring for widows fit into a holistic pro-life ethic? Discussion Questions General Questions: In 1 Timothy 5:3-16, Paul provides specific instructions on supporting widows. What principles can we extract from this passage to apply in our context today? Psalm 68:5 describes God as a ‘father to the fatherless, a defender of widows.’ How can embodying this aspect of God’s character influence our approach to social justice and mercy ministries? 1 Timothy 5:4 emphasizes that if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to show godliness by caring for their own family. How can families and the church collaborate to ensure widows receive comprehensive support? In what practical ways can you personally contribute to caring for widows in your community? Consider time, resources, and advocacy. Family Questions: Have you ever met someone who was lonely or needed help? How did you feel when you helped them? Do you know someone in our family or church who has lost a loved one? How can we show them that we care about them? A widow is someone who has lost their husband. How do you think they feel, and what can we do to make them feel loved? In Luke 4:18, Jesus said He came to help people who are hurting or lonely. How do you think Jesus would want us to treat widows or people who don’t have family to help them? What are some things we can do as a family to help people who are lonely, like widows or older people in our church? Activity: “Love in Action” Challenge • Plan a family project to bless a widow or an older person. Ideas include: • Making a homemade card or artwork. • Baking cookies and delivering them. • Inviting them over for a meal or visiting them. • Offering to help with tasks like yard work or groceries.
