- The News to His Father (Joseph)
The News to His Father (Joseph) December 21, 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
- What is the Greatest Commandment?
What is the Greatest Commandment? May 31, 2026 What is the Greatest Commandment? Sermon Series: Questions Download PDF Matthew 22:34-40 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Main Idea Love God fully and love others deeply. Outline 1. WHAT DOES GOD WANT MOST FROM US? LOVE HIM FULLY (VV34-38) 2. WHAT DOES LOVE FOR GOD LOOK LIKE? LOVE OTHERS DEEPLY (V39) 3. WHAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER? LOVE FOR GOD AND OTHERS (V40) Discussion Questions WHAT DOES GOD WANT MOST FROM US? LOVE HIM FULLY (VV34-38) Why do you think the Pharisees considered this such a difficult question? What stands out to you about Jesus' answer? What does it practically look like to love God with "all" of your heart, soul, and mind? What are some things that compete for your devotion and affection? If the people closest to you described your life, would they say that loving God is one of your defining characteristics? Why or why not? WHAT DOES LOVE FOR GOD LOOK LIKE? LOVE OTHERS DEEPLY (V39) Why do you think Jesus paired these two commandments together? How does loving others demonstrate our love for God? Who has shown Christlike love to you in a meaningful way? Are there people in your life whom you find difficult to love? WHAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER? LOVE FOR GOD AND OTHERS (V40) What do you think Jesus meant when He said everything hangs on these commands? How would your daily life look different if loving God and loving others became your primary focus? Why is it important to remember that Christianity is more than simply following rules? How does love provide the foundation for obedience? In what ways have you fallen short of these commandments? Why is it important that Jesus not only taught these commands but perfectly fulfilled them? How does the gospel give hope when we fail? How does knowing you are forgiven motivate you to pursue greater love for God and others? Looking Forward How can our community group help one another live out the Great Commandment in the days and weeks ahead? Prayer Focus Pray for… A deeper love for God that impacts every area of life Hearts fully devoted to Christ rather than divided by competing loves Greater delight in God through His Word, prayer, and worship Eyes to see opportunities to love others well Humility to put the needs of others before ourselves Healing and reconciliation in strained relationships A church known for both its love for God and its love for people Gratitude for Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled the Great Commandment on our behalf Growth in becoming people who love God fully and love others deeply The Holy Spirit's help to live out these truths throughout the week
- An Overview of the End Times
An Overview of the End Times May 18, 2024 An Overview of the End Times Sermon Series: The Church Never Preaches On... Download PDF Mark 13:32-37 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) 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? Looking Forward Prayer Focus
- What Defiles a Person?
What Defiles a Person? June 29, 2024 What Defiles a Person? Sermon Series: It Had To Be Said Download PDF Mark 7:1-23 Main Idea It's not about what goes in, but what comes out Outline 1 The Source of Contamination I. The Pharisees Answer: from outside (vv1-5) II. Jesus' Answer: from inside (vv14-23) 2. The Solution to Contamination I. The Pharisees Answer: rules upon rules (vv9-13) II. Jesus' Answer: a new heart (vv6-8) Discussion Questions 1. Jesus teaches that what defiles a person comes from within, not external factors (Mark 7:14-23). How does this teaching challenge the common perceptions of holiness and purity in today's society? 2. Read Mark 7:1-13 and compare it with Isaiah 29:13 and Colossians 2:8. How do these passages collectively address the issue of placing human traditions above God's commandments? Discuss specific examples where modern Christian practices might fall into this same trap and how we can return to a more biblical focus. 3. In Mark 7:14-23, Jesus emphasizes the importance of inner purity over external rituals. Reflect on Proverbs 4:23 and Jeremiah 17:9-10 with Jesus' teaching. How do these passages help us understand the condition of the human heart and God's desire for our inner transformation? Share practical ways these insights can guide our spiritual growth and community life. 4. In Mark 7:1-13, Jesus criticizes the Pharisees and scribes for valuing human traditions over God's commandments. How can we identify and correct areas in our own lives where human traditions might overshadow God's Word? How can we ensure our practices align with biblical teachings? Looking Forward Prayer Focus

I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But A Sword May 10, 2026 I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But A Sword Sermon Series: Lines in the Sand Download PDF Matthew 10:34-39 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Main Idea THE LINE IN THE SAND IS THIS… JESUS DRAWS THE LINE IN THE SAND WITH TRUTH Outline TRUTH FORCES DISRUPTION (V34) TRUTH FORCES DIVISION (VV35–37) TRUTH FORCES DECISIONS (VV38–39) Discussion Questions TRUTH FORCES DISRUPTION (V34) Why does Jesus say He came not to bring peace, but a sword? What is the difference between false peace and true peace rooted in truth? How can truth feel disruptive or even painful when it exposes lies or deception in our lives? Why do people often resist truth when it challenges their assumptions, worldview, or comfort? Where in your life is Jesus currently disrupting unhealthy patterns, false beliefs, or misplaced priorities? How can disruption actually become an act of God’s grace in our lives? TRUTH FORCES DIVISION (VV35–37) Why does Jesus warn that following Him may create division even within families? How does our culture often encourage peace at any cost, even at the expense of truth? What does Jesus mean when He says we must love Him more than father, mother, son, or daughter? How does loving God most actually increase our ability to love others well? Where are you tempted to compromise truth in order to avoid conflict, rejection, or tension? How can Christians hold firmly to truth while still responding with humility and love? TRUTH FORCES DECISIONS (VV38–39) What does it practically mean to “take up your cross and follow” Jesus? How does this passage challenge a shallow or comfortable version of Christianity? Why is following Jesus more than simply admiring His teachings? What stands out to you most about the description of Jesus carrying and enduring the cross? How does Jesus’ willingness to suffer for us shape our willingness to follow Him faithfully? What does it mean that “whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it”? What areas of your life are hardest to fully surrender to Christ? How does the resurrection of Jesus give hope and confidence to endure hardship and obedience? Looking Forward Where is Jesus confronting you with truth right now, and what is one specific step you will take this week to follow Him more faithfully, even if it requires discomfort, surrender, or change? Prayer Focus Pray for… Hearts that love truth more than comfort or approval Wisdom to recognize false peace that ignores truth Courage to allow God’s truth to disrupt and transform our lives Humility to listen before becoming offended or defensive Strength to stand firm in truth even when relationships become difficult Love for Jesus that is greater than every earthly attachment Faith to take up our cross daily and follow Christ faithfully Repentance from believing lies or clinging to idols Gratitude for Jesus willingly suffering and dying for our salvation Confidence in the resurrection and the eternal life found only in Christ Lives marked by both truth and love as we follow Jesus faithfully
- Jesus is the Light of the World
Jesus is the Light of the World June 28, 2026 Jesus is the Light of the World Sermon Series: VBS Sunday Download PDF John 8:12 Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying “I am the light of the world, Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Main Idea JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Outline WHY DO WE NEED LIGHT? BECAUSE OUR WORLD IS DARK WHO IS THE LIGHT? JESUS IS THE LIGHT WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE LIGHT? FOLLOW JESUS AND LIVE Discussion Questions WHY DO WE NEED LIGHT? BECAUSE OUR WORLD IS DARK (V12) Jesus says those who do not follow Him walk in darkness. What kinds of darkness do you see in our world today? Why do you think people often recognize the brokenness of the world more easily than the brokenness within themselves? How does the Bible describe the source of the darkness in our world? What are some ways people try to escape or cope with the darkness without turning to God? Why is it important to recognize our own need for a Savior before we can truly appreciate the Gospel? How does admitting our need for Jesus differ from simply trying to become a better person? WHO IS THE LIGHT? JESUS IS THE LIGHT (V12) Why is Jesus' statement, "I am the light of the world," such a bold claim? What does it mean that Jesus is the Light, not merely a light? How does knowing the context of the Feast of Tabernacles deepen your understanding of Jesus' words? What makes Jesus different from every other religious leader, philosophy, or worldview? How have you personally experienced Jesus bringing light into an area of darkness in your life? WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE LIGHT? FOLLOW JESUS AND LIVE (V12) Jesus doesn't simply invite people to admire the light, but to follow Him. What do you think that means practically? What is the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually following Him? Why does Jesus connect following Him with receiving "the light of life"? How does following Jesus change the way we face fear, suffering, temptation, or uncertainty? What are some distractions or competing "lights" that can pull our attention away from Christ? What is one area of your life where Jesus is calling you to trust and follow Him more fully? Looking Forward Jesus says, "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." What is one practical step you can take this week to follow Jesus more intentionally and reflect His light to those around you? Prayer Focus Pray for… A greater awareness of our need for Jesus, the Light of the World Hearts that recognize and turn away from the darkness of sin Faith to trust Jesus as the only true source of life and salvation Gratitude that Christ entered our darkness to rescue us Courage to follow Jesus even when the world offers competing voices and false hopes Wisdom to walk in the light through daily obedience to God's Word Opportunities to reflect Christ's light to family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers Compassion for those who are still walking in spiritual darkness Boldness to share the hope of the Gospel with others Joy and confidence that because Jesus is our Light, we never walk alone and never walk in darkness forever

Sermon Series: Questions Download PDF Mark 3:31-35 31 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.” 33 And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” Main Idea THE FAMILY OF GOD IS FOUND AMONG THOSE DOING THE WILL OF GOD. Outline JESUS HAD FAMILY, BUT ALSO HAD A SPIRITUAL FOCUS (VV31–32) JESUS HAD FANS, BUT ALSO HAD A SPIRITUAL FAMILY (VV33–35) Discussion Questions JESUS HAD FAMILY, BUT ALSO HAD A SPIRITUAL FOCUS (VV31–32) Why do you think Jesus continued teaching instead of immediately stopping to meet with His family? What does this passage teach us about keeping God's mission at the center of our lives? Why is it important to love our families without making them the ultimate priority? How can even good things, like family, become idols if we're not careful? Where do you find it most difficult to keep your spiritual priorities ahead of competing responsibilities? How can you intentionally pursue God's mission this week in the midst of your daily responsibilities? JESUS HAD FANS, BUT ALSO HAD A SPIRITUAL FAMILY (VV33–35) Why do you think Jesus asked, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" What is the difference between being interested in Jesus and belonging to the family of God? According to Jesus, what identifies someone as part of God's family? How does this passage challenge the idea that simply attending church or identifying as a Christian is enough? What does it mean to "do the will of God," and how is that different from trying to earn God's acceptance? What evidence do you see in your own life that your faith is producing obedience? Looking Forward Jesus teaches that His family is made up of those who do the will of God. What is one specific area where God is calling you to take a step of obedience this week as an expression of your love for Him? Prayer Focus Pray for… A deeper love for God that results in joyful obedience Wisdom to keep Christ and His mission as our highest priority Healthy relationships with our families that honor both God and one another Freedom from legalism and confidence in God's grace Hearts that obey God because we love Him, not because we are trying to earn His acceptance Humility to recognize our complete dependence on Christ Unity within the family of God as brothers and sisters in Christ A growing desire to encourage and serve our spiritual family Faith that is demonstrated through everyday obedience Gratitude that we have been welcomed into God's family by grace through faith in Jesus

- The Miracle of Christ
The Miracle of Christ April 5, 2026 The Miracle of Christ Sermon Series: Magnitude Download PDF Mark 16:1-8 1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. Main Idea THE MAGNITUDE OF CHRIST’S MIRACLE IS THAT HE DEFEATED DEATH. Outline 1. WHEN THE TOMB IS SHUT: REMEMBER GOD MAKES A WAY (VV1-4) 2. ONCE THE TOMB IS OPEN: GO AND LOOK FOR YOURSELF (V5) 3. BECAUSE THE TOMB IS EMPTY: PLACE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST (VV6-8) Discussion Questions WHEN THE TOMB IS SHUT: REMEMBER GOD MAKES A WAY (VV1-4) The women came to the tomb expecting a problem they could not solve, what does that reveal about their understanding of Jesus’ promises? Why do we often focus more on the “stone” in front of us than on what God has already said or done? How does God’s action in moving the stone ahead of them reshape how we think about obstacles in our own lives? Where in your life right now does something feel “sealed shut” or impossible? What would it look like, practically, to trust that God is already at work before you arrive at the problem? How can remembering God’s past faithfulness help you face present uncertainty? ONCE THE TOMB IS OPEN: GO AND LOOK FOR YOURSELF (V5) Why do you think the angel invites the women to see rather than just telling them what happened? How does this moment challenge the idea that faith is just emotional or inherited? In what ways have you personally “seen” evidence of Jesus in your life, Scripture, or experience? Are there areas where you are relying on someone else’s faith instead of engaging Christ for yourself? What is one step you can take this week to intentionally “look” at Jesus, through Scripture, prayer, or reflection? BECAUSE THE TOMB IS EMPTY: PLACE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST (VV6-8) Why is the empty tomb central to the Christian faith, what is at stake if the resurrection is not true? The women respond with fear and amazement, why do you think the resurrection produces both? What does it mean, practically, to place your faith in the risen Christ, not just believe facts about Him? Where are you tempted to live as if death, fear, or sin still have the final say? What is one area this week where you need to actively trust the risen Jesus instead of relying on yourself? Looking Forward What is one specific area of your life this week where you need to stop living in fear or doubt and instead actively trust and follow the risen Jesus? Prayer Focus Pray for… Faith to truly believe that Jesus has defeated sin and death Trust in God when situations feel impossible or closed off Eyes to see and hearts to understand the truth of the resurrection Courage to move from doubt to personal faith in Christ Freedom from fear, knowing that death does not have the final word A deeper relationship with the living, risen Jesus Boldness to share the hope of the empty tomb with others Lives that reflect the reality that Jesus is alive and reigning

The Purpose Is Personal February 16, 2025 The Purpose Is Personal Sermon Series: Contender Download PDF Jude 17-23 Main Idea Contend for the faith because the purpose is personal Outline 1: The purpose is personal so it will affect you (vv17-19) 2: The purpose is personal so stay in God’s love (vv20-21) 3: The purpose is personal so remember your mission (vv22-23) Discussion Questions The Purpose Affects You Personally (Jude 17-19) Jude reminds believers to remember the predictions of the apostles about scoffers following ungodly desires. How do these warnings resonate with current challenges to your faith? In what ways have you observed divisions or worldly influences affecting your personal walk with God? Staying in God’s Love (Jude 20-21) Jude encourages building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit. What practices help you to strengthen your faith daily? How do you actively keep yourself in God’s love, especially during times of doubt or struggle? Remembering Your Mission (Jude 22-23) Jude instructs to show mercy to those who doubt and save others by snatching them from the fire. How can you apply this mission in your interactions with others? What steps can you take to balance mercy and truth when addressing false teachings or misconceptions about the faith? Application Questions Personal Reflection Identify areas in your life where you may have become complacent in your faith. What changes can you implement to actively contend for your personal faith? Community Engagement How can you support fellow believers in staying true to their personal purpose in Christ? Consider specific actions or initiatives.
