Waiting October 19, 2025 Waiting Sermon Series: Nahum Download PDF Nahum 2:1-13 The Destruction of Nineveh 1 The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength. 2 For the LORD is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches. 3 The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots come with flashing metal on the day he musters them; the cypress spears are brandished. 4 The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning. 5 He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up. 6 The river gates are opened; the palace melts away; 7 its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts. 8 Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry, but none turns back. 9 Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things. 10 Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale! 11 Where is the lions’ den, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and lioness went, where his cubs were, with none to disturb? 12 The lion tore enough for his cubs and strangled prey for his lionesses; he filled his caves with preyand his dens with torn flesh. 13 Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard. Main Idea God’s holiness is a warning to the wicked, but a hope to His people.

God undoes evil (Nahum 2:1-2) What is something you have expereinced God restoring? What evil in the world do you long to see God restore? God humbles evil (Nahum 2:3-5) When was a time that God humbled you? How is God humbling you right now? God ends evil (Nahum 2:6-13) What are some ways that we overestimate our own power and control like the Assyrians did? What is a warning from God you have struggled to receive?

From Plan To Purpose April 13, 2025 From Plan To Purpose Sermon Series: The Reversal Download PDF John 12:12-19 Main Idea The gospel doesn’t give us the hero we want, but the hero we need. Outline 1) The Crowd 2) The Hero 3) Us Discussion Questions The Crowd (John 12:12-13) The crowd welcomed Jesus with palm branches, expecting a political savior. How do our expectations of Jesus sometimes differ from who He truly is? In what ways can we align our expectations with the true nature and mission of Christ? The Hero (John 12:14-15) Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, symbolizing peace rather than conquest. How does this choice reflect the kind of hero Jesus is? What does this teach us about the nature of God’s purpose compared to human plans? Us (John 12:16-19) The disciples did not understand these things at first but later realized their significance. How have you experienced moments where God’s purpose became clear only in hindsight? How can we cultivate trust in God’s purpose, even when it doesn’t align with our immediate plans? Application Questions Identify areas in your life where your personal plans may be overshadowing God’s purpose. What steps can you take to surrender those plans to Him? How can our church community support one another in discerning and embracing God’s purpose over our own plans? What practical actions can you take this week to live out God’s purpose, even if it challenges your personal expectations? Looking Forward Prayer Focus
