Atonement
1 John 3:16-18
April 14, 2019 • Pastor Derrek Busha
Discipleship Questions 1. What does being told, by this we know love, do for our understanding of love? 2. How does Christ demonstrate love? How can we follow in that example? 3. How well are we doing when looking out for the needs of the Church? 4. What does following Christ’s example do for the world around us?
1 John 3:8
April 7, 2019 • Pastor Rusten Harris
Discipleship Questions 1. What are the Works of the Devil? How are these works evident in the world around us and in our personal life? 2. God’s Wrath is "revealed against all unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18). Sometimes we think of God’s wrath as opposed to his love - is this an accurate way to think about it? How might the Cross reveal God’s wrath against the “Works of the Devil” as an expression of his love? 3. How does the Crucifixion of Jesus destroy the works of the devil? In what way is this already accomplished, and in what ways in this not yet accomplished? 4. How does knowing that Jesus’ Crucifixion was a victory over evil and sin in order to deliver us from the “domain of darkness and transfer us into the kingdom of his Beloved Son” (Col. 1:13) change the way that we consider our relationship to sin?
Isaiah 53:1-11
March 31, 2019 • Pastor Jon Needham
Discipleship Questions 1. Take a moment to work through Isaiah 53:1-11 and make a list of all of the things that associated or connected to “he” or “his" in the text. Make another list of all the things that are connected or associated with the “us” and “our”. What does this show us about the cross? 2. What does verse 10 teach us? Why is this point so important? What would Jesus’ death have accomplished if this verse was not true? 3. In his sermon, Pastor Jon suggested that in light of the truths taught in this text, we ought to repent, rest, and rejoice. How are each one of these responses an appropriate response to the cross? What do they look like in your life?
