My Sheep Follow Me

February 16, 2020 • Pastor Noah Schlag

Jesus said that He is the Good Shepherd and that his sheep know his voice and follow him. Pastor Noah preaches from John 10:1-18 and challenges us to know the voice of our Great Shepherd. **The food theme for Wednesday 2/19 is potato night** Here are the questions we will go through at our tables on Wednesday, February 19. 1. This passage describes an intimate, two-way relationship between the Good Shepherd and His flock. How well do you know Him? How can you know him in a deeper way? 2. How can we know the voice of the Holy Spirit as He leads us? 3. The Good Shepherd know His sheep. When we stray, he calls us back. Describe a time when you strayed and He called you back. 4. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. How can we guard against the thief/false shepherd? 5. The Good Shepherd lays doesn't just risk his life, but He lays down His life for His sheep. What is the difference between risking and laying down your life? How should it shape our view of Jesus as the Good Shepherd? 6. Pastor Noah spoke of the value of the flock. Why is being in community valuable to you personally? Why do we sometimes drift away from community? 7. What is something you learned or that stood out to you about Jesus as the Good Shepherd? Why is this significant? How does this change how we learn, live, share, and send the Gospel?

I am the Light

February 9, 2020 • Pastor Noah Schlag

Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world. Whoever FOLLOWS ME will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Pastor Noah preached a message about what it means to have the Light. **The food theme for Wednesday 2/12 is Italian.** Our Table questions for Wednesday (2/12) small groups are the following: 1. When is a time where you desperately needed light? 2. When Jesus said, "I am the light of the world," what does that mean? 3. When Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world," what does that mean? 4. Why do people love darkness instead of light? 5. How do we practically bring the light in our homes, work, and community? 6. How does being the light impact how we learn, live, share, and send the Gospel?

Sell All You Have?

January 26, 2020 • Pastor David Gidcumb

Pastor David teaches through the passage about the rich young ruler. Jesus told him to sell all he has and give to the poor so that he can have treasure in heaven. In light of that, how should we follow Jesus? **The food theme on Wednesday 1/29 will be taco night** Since we missed last Wednesday because of winter weather, we'll pick up with last week's questions for this Wednesday night, 1/29... barring more winter weather. Situational Awareness: 1. Where is the darkness around you? 2. What is repentance and why is it important? 3. Can you identify with the darkness you see in others? You are Chosen: 4. What does it mean to be chosen? 5. How does being "chosen" affect you? You are Commissioned: 6. As chosen people, what should our response be to the darkness around us?
