Honoring the Martyrs November 23, 2025 Honoring the Martyrs Sermon Series: Standalone Download PDF Revelation 6:9-11 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. Main Idea THE MARTYRS AREN’T REJECTED BY GOD; THEY ARE RECEIVED BY HIM. Outline THE MARTYRS WERE PROVEN FAITHFUL (V9) THE MARTYRS WILL SEE JUSTICE (V10) THE MARTYRS HAVE RECEIVED GLORY (V11) Discussion Questions THE MARTYRS WERE PROVEN FAITHFUL (V9) In verse 9, what does it mean that the martyrs were killed “for the word of God and for the witness they had borne”? What does this reveal about what God values in His servants? Why is faithfulness—especially under pressure or persecution—so significant in God’s eyes? How does the faithfulness of the martyrs challenge our understanding of what it means to follow Jesus? In what areas of your life is God calling you to deeper faithfulness right now? How can you cultivate a stronger witness for Christ in a culture that may not openly persecute but often pressures us toward compromise? THE MARTYRS WILL SEE JUSTICE (V10) Why do the martyrs cry out, “How long, O Lord?” What does this tell us about their desire for justice? How does their prayer show both honesty and submission to God’s timing? Why is it difficult for Christians today to wait for God’s justice rather than seeking vengeance or becoming cynical? In what ways does the promise of divine justice shape how we respond to injustice in our world? What injustices in your own life—or in our society—tempt you to doubt God’s timing? How can the church today stand with persecuted believers around the world and faithfully pray, “How long, O Lord?” THE MARTYRS HAVE RECEIVED GLORY (V11) What is the significance of the white robe given to the martyrs? How does this image reflect God’s honor, acceptance, and vindication of His people? How does remembering the glory awaiting believers strengthen us during present trials? What does this verse teach us about God’s care for those who suffer for His name? As we enter Thanksgiving Week, how does the example of the martyrs stir gratitude in your own heart for what Christ has secured for you? Looking Forward In the upcoming days and weeks, what would it look like this week to take one more step towards living out your faith in a way that doesn’t avoid persecution? Prayer Focus Pray for… A heart that treasures God’s Word as deeply as the martyrs did. The courage to bear faithful witness to Christ in every circumstance. Steadfastness in areas where you are tempted to compromise. Grace to live boldly for Christ even when obedience is costly. A deeper awareness of believers today who are suffering for their faith. Confidence in God’s perfect timing when you are waiting for justice or resolution. A heart that cries out honestly to God without losing faith in His goodness. Believers around the world who are enduring injustice, oppression, or persecution. Patience to resist taking vengeance into your own hands. A compassionate church that stands with and advocates for persecuted Christians. Gratitude during Thanksgiving Week for the glory secured for you through Jesus. Strength to endure present trials with confidence in God’s ultimate justice and reward. A deeper longing for heaven and a greater love for Christ’s appearing. Growth in faithfulness, endurance, and hope like those who laid down their lives for Christ.

Become Sons of Light January 11, 2026 Become Sons of Light Sermon Series: Becoming Download PDF John 12:27-36 27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” Main Idea WE ARE CALLED TO BECOME SONS OF LIGHT Outline THE PURPOSE OF CHRIST’S SURRENDER: GLORY (VV27-29) THE PLAN OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE: GOSPEL (VV30-33) THE PATH OF OUR SALVATION: GODLINESS (VV34-36) Discussion Questions THE PURPOSE OF CHRIST’S SURRENDER: GLORY (VV27-29) In verse 27, Jesus openly acknowledges the turmoil of His soul. What stands out to you about His honesty here? What does Jesus ask for instead of asking to be saved from suffering? How does the Father respond, and why do you think the crowd misunderstands what is happening? What does this teach us about how God’s glory is sometimes revealed in ways we don’t immediately recognize? Where do you find yourself tempted to pray “save me from this” instead of “Father, be glorified”? How might your understanding of God’s glory reshape how you view hardship or obedience this year? THE PLAN OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE: GOSPEL (VV30-33) What does Jesus say His death will accomplish spiritually and cosmically? How does this passage help clarify what the gospel actually is? How does seeing the cross as triumph—not tragedy—change how you think about following Jesus? In what ways does the gospel continue to “draw” you toward Christ today? THE PATH OF OUR SALVATION: GODLINESS (VV34-36) Why do the people struggle with Jesus’ teaching about the Son of Man? What does Jesus mean when He calls people to “walk while you have the light”? What is the connection between believing in the light and becoming “sons of light”? How does this passage challenge the idea that salvation is only about a moment, not a life? What does “walking in the light” look like in everyday rhythms—habits, relationships, priorities? Looking Forward As we begin the Becoming Campaign, what is one specific area where you already feel God calling you to become more of what you were made to be? Prayer Focus Pray for hearts that desire God’s glory above personal comfort, trusting the Father even when obedience feels costly. Pray for clearer spiritual hearing, that we would recognize God’s voice and work even when it doesn’t fit our expectations. Pray for deeper gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice, seeing the cross not as defeat but as God’s powerful plan of salvation. Pray for renewed faith in the gospel, that the truth of Jesus’ death and victory would continue to draw us toward Him. Pray for freedom from sin’s power, trusting that Christ has defeated the ruler of this world. Pray for courage to walk in the light, choosing obedience while the opportunity to respond is before us. Pray for growing godliness, that our beliefs would shape our daily habits, relationships, and decisions. Pray for transformation over the coming year, that we would not merely attend church but truly become sons and daughters of light. Pray for unity across our church, that we would walk this Becoming journey together with humility, grace, and perseverance. Pray for the work of the Holy Spirit, forming Christlike character in us individually and corporately.

The News to His Father (Joseph) December 22, 2024 The News to His Father (Joseph) Sermon Series: Go Tell It On The Mountain Download PDF Matthew 1:18-25 Main Idea Joseph's reaction to the news of Christmas shows us how we should respond in life: with honor, faith, and action. Outline 1. He reacts with honor (vv18-19) 2. He reacts with faith (vv20-23) 3. He reacts with action (vv24-25) Discussion Questions In verses 18-19, Joseph discovers Mary’s pregnancy and contemplates divorcing her quietly. What does this reveal about his character and his adherence to both justice and compassion? Reflect on Proverbs 3:5-6, which advises trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly. How might this wisdom have applied to Joseph’s situation, and how can it apply to ours when facing difficult choices? An angel appears to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take Mary as his wife. How does Joseph’s immediate obedience demonstrate his faith and trust in God’s plan? Consider James 1:22, which encourages believers to be doers of the word. How can we emulate Joseph’s example of prompt obedience in our own lives? In what areas of your life is God calling you to trust Him more deeply, even when the circumstances are challenging or unclear? How can you cultivate a heart of obedience like Joseph, ready to follow God’s guidance promptly and faithfully? Are there situations where you need to balance justice with compassion, as Joseph did? How can you seek God’s wisdom in these circumstances? Looking Forward Prayer Focus
