Kicked

If you’ve got the guts to get in the arena, you’re going to get kicked in those guts every now and then. If you’re going to have the guts to follow Jesus, the same thing is going to happen to you. Why is following Jesus fully so offensive to people? Acts 24 reminds us.

Discussion / Reflection:
1) Who have you seen get beat up in the arena?

2) Have there been times when you have followed Jesus even in the midst of pushback?

3) In what areas do you need to be encouraged to follow Jesus even though it is hard?

The End(s of the Earth) This is the end. In the end, how do I know that I have done well? At the end of a season or the end of life, how do we know if we have done well? Here’s the odd ending of Acts. Discussion / Reflection: 1) How do you typically evaluate how “well” you have done? 2) What seasons of your life would you view differently if you evaluated them through the lens of your faithfulness? 3) Are there changes that need to happen in your life to make sure this season is being lived well?

The Storm Paul finds himself in a storm and I’m reminded of one of the core truths of my life: the storm around you does not have to become a storm within you. Discussion / Reflection: 1) What are the storms around you right now? 2) How are the storms getting you back on track (like Jonah) and how are they standing between you and where you need to be (like Paul)? 3) Are the storms around you becoming storms within you? If so, how will you pause today to allow God to calm the storms within you? Holy Spirit, Breath of God Breath into me, transform me
