Leaning Into The Lamb

CommUNIty: Don't Do Life Alone

March 10, 2024 • Jordan Hansen • Revelation 7:9–17

My kids LEAN into their stuffies (yes...those plush stuffed animals) when they’re happy, sad, confused, or happy. Turns out we’re not so different as adults. But most of us have given our stuffies to our kids or grandkids…or they got lost along the way. But we still need to be stabilized in a world that is jolting, comforted in a world that is scary, or express deep joy in a world that is stuck in depression. God desires to be that close to us and to meet our deepest emotional and spiritual needs. And…it just so happens He describes Himself as a Lamb.

TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself.

1. Did I have a “stuffie” or a comfort blanket when i was small? How has that evolved in my life?

2. What are the reasons we LEAN IN to the Lamb according to the message? Which resonated with me the most?

3. Do I believe Jesus has provided salvation? I have accepted His salvation? Why or why not?

4. What is my definition of worship? Would we worship the Lamb? Why or why not?

5. PRAYER: “Father, help US to LEAN IN to the Lamb though worship so our hearts can be stabilized.”

Leaning Into Prayer

March 3, 2024 • Keith Robinson

Even though I am introverted, I have learned that I need people in my life. And even though people, at least people like me, are messy, I must be willing to enter into the risk of relationship. How do I do that? I must be willing to give up what is my most valuable resource. That resource is not money because we can always make more money. That resource is TIME. Once spent, we will never recover it. And without time, there is NO RELATIONSHIP. TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself. 1. Describe a time when i felt most connected to a spiritual community? What were the contorting factors? 2. How does Luke’s description of community in Acts 2 challenge my understanding of relationship within the church? 3. Why is hanging out and eating together beneficial both scientifically and spiritually to my life? 4. How can I prioritize meaningful connections and relationships in my already “full” life? 5. PRAYER: “Father, help me to be devoted to the kind of relationships that will build genuine community.”
