Peter asked how many times he should forgive, and Jesus replied 70×7. What does Jesus’ answer tell us about the nature of forgiveness? 2.Read Matthew 18:23–27. The king forgives a massive debt. How does the king’s mercy demonstrate grace that we don’t deserve? 3.Read Matthew 18:28–34. The forgiven servant refuses to forgive a small debt. How does this show the destructive power of withholding forgiveness—even after receiving it? 4.Read Matthew 18:35.

Theological Reflection Unforgiveness is like planting a weed—it spreads resentment and chokes out life. But when we forgive, we mirror God’s boundless mercy. Reflect on the balance between justice and grace in this story. How does this affect your view of God’s character? Application Questions Identify someone you may still need to forgive. Pray for God’s help to release that bitterness and show mercy. Practice the Golden Rule in forgiveness: treat others with the grace you’ve received, not what they might deserve. Remind yourself daily: you have been forgiven much. Let that compel you to forgive freely and generously. Closing Forgiving others doesn’t erase what they did, but it reflects what Christ has done for us. This week, how can your life witness to the freedom found in forgiveness?

As We Also Have Forgiven Our Debtors August 17, 2025 As We Also Have Forgiven Our Debtors Sermon Series: Down Home Download PDF Matthew 6:12b Main Idea How can we forgive others? Outline Discussion Questions Read Matthew 6:12b. Why do you think Jesus directly connects our asking God for forgiveness with our willingness to forgive others? Read Matthew 18:21-35 (the parable of the unforgiving servant). How does this story illustrate the seriousness of refusing to forgive others after we have been forgiven so much by God? Read Ephesians 4:31-32. What practical steps does Paul give us for living out forgiveness in community? How can kindness and compassion help us reflect the forgiveness we’ve received in Christ? Read Colossians 3:12-13. What does it mean to “bear with one another” and forgive as the Lord has forgiven us? How does this stretch your understanding of what forgiveness requires? How is forgiveness not just about the other person, but also about our own spiritual health and freedom? Theological Reflection Forgiveness doesn’t mean ignoring justice or pretending nothing happened. Instead, it means entrusting justice to God while releasing the bitterness in our hearts. How does this definition of forgiveness challenge or comfort you? Application Think of someone you may still need to forgive. Spend time in prayer this week, asking God for the strength to release them and entrust the situation to Him. Practice daily, reminding yourself: “Because I have been forgiven much, I can forgive.” Consider writing a note of forgiveness or reconciliation to someone who has wronged you—even if you never send it—as a way of letting go before God. Closing If forgiveness is the natural response of those who know God’s grace, how can your life bear witness to His mercy this week? Who might see Christ more clearly because you chose to forgive?

Woe October 26, 2025 Woe Sermon Series: Nahum Download PDF Nahum 3:1-19 1 Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and plunder—no end to the prey! 2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot! 3 Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, hosts of slain, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end—they stumble over the bodies! 4 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her whorings, and peoples with her charms. 5 Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and will lift up your skirts over your face; and I will make nations look at your nakedness and kingdoms at your shame. 6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. 7 And all who look at you will shrink from you and say, “Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her? ”Where shall I seek comforters for you? 8 Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, and water her wall? 9 Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity; her infants were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains. 11 You also will be drunken; you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy. 12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with first-ripe figs—if shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater. 13 Behold, your troops are women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has devoured your bars. 14 Draw water for the siege; strengthen your forts; go into the clay; tread the mortar; take hold of the brick mold! 15 There will the fire devour you; the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper! 16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away. 17 Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold—when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are. 18 Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with none to gather them. 19 There is no easing your hurt; your wound is grievous. All who hear the news about you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil? Main Idea God’s “woe” reminds us that his judgement comes after patience, but with punishment. Outline 1. God’s woe punishes evil through displaying disgrace (Nahum 3:1-7) 2. God’s woe punishes evil by exposing foolishness (Nahum 3:8-17) 3. God’s woe punishes evil with final sentencing (Nahum 3:18-19) Discussion Questions Opening Questions What has been challenging as we studied Nahum together? What has been encouraging as we studied Nahum together? God’s woe punishes evil through displaying disgrace (1-7) When was a time where God took something you kept in the darkness and brought it into the light? This section talks about Ninevah’s legacy. What are one or two things you hope to leave as a part of your legacy? God’s woe punishes evil by exposing foolishness (8-17) This section is full of specific references to historical places and imagery that only makes sense in a specific geographical context. When you encounter passages like this, how do you make sense of them? Pastor Ryan shared that verse 13 is challenging to our modern times because of the gender disctinction it makes. Why is the push to see no distinction between men and women so destructive for societies? God’s woe punishes evil with final sentencing (18-19) In what ways do you see similarities between our country and Assyria? In what ways do you see differences? Why can we have hope today even when we read a book of judgment like Nahum? Looking Forward In the upcoming days and weeks, what is something you can commit to in light of everything you have learned from studying the Book of Nahum? Prayer Focus Pray for… The people of Peace Church to always study and apply the fullness of Scriptures, even the hard and ignored parts. The members of your community group to be able to walk together through life as it brings all its joys and challenges.

Do You Believe in the Son of Man? July 26, 2026 Do You Believe in the Son of Man? Sermon Series: Questions Download PDF John 9:1-41 1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. 8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10 So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” 13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” 18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 (His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”) 24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” 26 They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28 And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” 30 The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out. 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 He answered, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.” 38 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains. Main Idea TRUE SPIRITUAL SIGHT IS FOUND ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST. Outline THE MIRACLE (JOHN 9:1–7) THE TRIAL (JOHN 9:8–34) THE QUESTION (JOHN 9:35–41) Discussion Questions THE MIRACLE (JOHN 9:1–7) Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth. Why is that detail significant? The disciples assumed the man's suffering must have been caused by someone's sin. Why do we often try to explain suffering that way today? What does this passage teach us about the relationship between suffering, sin, and God's purposes? The sermon describes the blind man as a picture of all of us in our spiritual condition. In what ways are we spiritually blind apart from Christ? Why is spiritual blindness more dangerous than physical blindness? How has Jesus opened your eyes to see truths that you once overlooked or rejected? Who do you know that is still spiritually blind, and how can you faithfully pray for and point them to Christ? THE TRIAL (JOHN 9:8–34) As the story unfolds, the blind man's understanding of Jesus grows while the Pharisees become increasingly hardened. Why do you think that happens? What role did fear play in the responses of the parents and the Pharisees? How can fear keep people from publicly identifying with Jesus today? The healed man simply shared what he knew: "I was blind, now I see." Why is personal testimony such a powerful witness? Why is it important that biblical faith is based on evidence and revelation, not blind optimism? The Pharisees had a great deal of religious knowledge but failed to recognize Jesus. How can religious familiarity sometimes become a barrier to genuine faith? What does this passage teach us about the difference between humility and spiritual pride? THE QUESTION (JOHN 9:35–41) After the man is rejected by others, Jesus seeks him out. What does that reveal about the heart of Christ? Why do you think Jesus' ultimate question was, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" What is the difference between believing facts about Jesus and personally trusting Him? The healed man's understanding of Jesus developed throughout the chapter. How has your own understanding of Jesus grown over time? The Pharisees believed they could see, but Jesus exposed their blindness. Why is self confidence often the greatest obstacle to faith? The sermon contrasts walking by your own light with walking by Christ's light. What does that distinction look like in everyday life? How would you answer Jesus' question today: "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" Looking Forward Jesus asks each of us, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" This week, what is one area where you need to stop trusting your own perspective and instead walk by the light and truth of Christ? Prayer Focus Pray for… Eyes to clearly see Jesus for who He truly is Humility to recognize our own spiritual blindness apart from Christ Faith to trust God's purposes even in seasons of suffering Courage to publicly identify with Jesus regardless of the cost Hearts that rely on Christ's light instead of our own understanding Compassion for those who are still spiritually blind Boldness to share how Christ has changed our lives Wisdom to discern truth in a world filled with spiritual darkness Perseverance to keep following Jesus as our faith grows Gratitude that Jesus seeks sinners, opens blind eyes, and brings us into His marvelous light

Polarizing Division Vs. Gospel Peace   March 2, 2024 Polarizing Division Vs. Gospel Peace   Sermon Series: Withstand Download PDF Ephesians 6:15 Main Idea The Gospel makes us ready to bring peace in a polarized world. Outline 1. Gives us what we stand in and on. (v15a) 2. Makes us ready to face the world. (v15b) 3. Brings us back home. (v15c) Discussion Questions Reflect on the list of divisive issues mentioned in the sermon (gun laws, climate change, abortion, etc.). Which of these topics do you find most challenging to discuss with others who hold opposite views, and why? How can the Gospel guide us in these conversations? The sermon highlights the growing polarization in American politics and its correlation with people's views on social and policy issues. How does identifying primarily as an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven, rather than by political affiliation, change the way we engage with the world and its issues? The main idea of the sermon is that the Gospel makes us ready to bring peace in a polarized world. Discuss how the Gospel equips us to be peacemakers. What are practical ways we can embody the gospel of peace in our interactions with others, especially those with whom we disagree? Ephesians 6:15 discusses the "readiness given by the gospel of peace" as part of the spiritual armor. In the context of the sermon, how does this piece of armor help Christians withstand the spiritual battles behind cultural and political wars? Share examples from your own life or observations. Considering the sermon's emphasis on the Gospel's role in bringing peace to a polarized world, what are some specific actions or commitments we can make as individuals and as a group to bring the message of peace into divisive environments? How can we support each other in these efforts? Looking Forward Prayer Focus

The Depravity of the Tongue September 7, 2025 The Depravity of the Tongue Sermon Series: Weeds Download PDF James 3:1-12 Main Idea An untamed tongue brings destruction Outline Digging In: Words matter immensely (vv1-5) Our tongues lead us to hell (vv6-8) How we speak shows who we are (vv9-12) Pulling Weeds: Recognize your need for repentance – we all fall short Remember you are being recorded – we all will give an account Reveal who you want to be – a blessing or a curse Discussion Questions Begin by reading James 3:1–12. Notice the severity of James’s warning. Words matter immensely (verses 1–5) James warns that those who teach must be careful with their words. Why do you think teachers carry such responsibility with speech? James gives analogies comparing the tongue to a bit for a horse, a rudder for a ship, and a spark that sets a forest ablaze. In what ways have you seen small words lead to large consequences? Our tongues can lead us to hell (verses 6–8) James describes the tongue as a fire, a restless evil, and something untamable. How does that challenge our view of words as harmless? How we speak reveals who we are (verses 9–12) James points out the hypocrisy of praising God and cursing human beings made in His image. When have you observed or done this? He uses pictures of springs, fig trees, and grapevines to show the need for consistency. How can the way you speak reflect who you really are, not just what you feel in the moment? Theological Reflection James implies that our words reflect our hearts. Our tongue’s destructive power reveals how deeply sin affects even the smallest parts of our lives. While it seems humanly impossible to tame the tongue, our hope lies in God’s transforming grace. Application Questions Recognize your need for repentance—reflect on a recent moment when your words brought harm. Confess it to God and ask for His grace. Remember you are being recorded—words can’t be taken back, yet we will give an account. How does that motivate you to speak more thoughtfully? Reveal who you want to be—choose to bless rather than curse. Today, speak life into someone’s situation. Each day this week, ask God to help you tame your tongue. Pray that your words would reflect His peace and truth. Consider journaling or pausing before speaking to filter your words. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill and guide your speech.

The Good News December 28, 2025 The Good News Sermon Series: From the Realms of Glory Download PDF Luke 2:10-11 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Discussion Questions THE STORY OF JESUS IS GOOD NEWS How does Jesus being our Savior address the deepest fears, guilt, or brokenness people experience?

What areas of your life are hardest to surrender to Jesus’ lordship? THE STORY OF JESUS BRING GREAT JOY Why does forgiveness and salvation produce a deeper and more lasting joy than changed circumstances? How does believing Jesus is Lord of history and your life bring peace, stability, or hope? Why do you think Christians can experience joy even in seasons of suffering or loss? THE STORY OF JESUS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE Why is it significant that the angels first announced Jesus’ birth to shepherds? What does the phrase “for all the people” tell us about who the gospel is for—and who it is not excluding? Who might God be placing in your life this season to hear this good news through you? Looking Forward In the new year, which of these three aspects of the story of Jesus, do you feel most called to focus on and carry with you? How do you intend to practically focus in on and live out that truth in 2026? Prayer Focus Pray for hearts that truly receive the good news of Jesus instead of trying to earn God’s approval. Pray for deeper gratitude for Jesus as our Savior who forgives sin and restores our relationship with God. Pray for willing hearts to submit every area of our lives to Jesus as Lord. Pray for true joy that is rooted in the gospel rather than in changing circumstances. Pray for trust in Christ’s lordship when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or out of control. Pray for humility to recognize our need for a Savior and not rely on self-sufficiency. Pray for eyes to see that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace and mercy. Pray for compassion for people who feel overlooked, forgotten, or unworthy of good news. Pray for boldness to share the story of Jesus with those God has placed in our lives.
