Thanks for listening to Ridgeland Church! Here are some reflection questions to think about throughout the week:

Pastor Jared said that true belonging comes from who we belong TO in the person of Jesus. How well do you feel like you know the person of Jesus? What difference does Jesus make in your life?

Jesus disciples were working class, and "didn't make the cut" for going through the traditional path of becoming a rabbi, but Jesus chose them anyway! What do you think that says about the way Jesus can work through us?

Being a disciple of Jesus looked like being an "apprentice," training alongside of him in every area of life. What do you think it would look like to be an "apprentice" of Jesus in your own life? What is one thing you can do this week to listen to Jesus and do as Jesus did?

Share the Good News of Jesus – Week 3

February 11, 2024 • Pastor Jared Richey • Matthew 7:21–23, Matthew 25:31–46, 1 Peter 3:8–15, 2 Corinthians 4:6–7, 2 Corinthians 5:16–21

This week Pastor Jared taught about what it means to Share the Good News of Jesus in our lives. As you go about your week, be thinking about the questions Pastor Jared posed at the end of the message: - How do you need Jesus to help you embody the Good News to those around you? - What's your "WHY" and can you articulate it to someone? - How do you need the Holy Spirit to help you live in authenticity with those around you? - Who do you pray might come to know Jesus from the light showing through the "cracks" in your life?

Practice the Way of Jesus – Week 2

February 4, 2024 • Pastor Jared Richey

Pastor Jared spoke this week about how following Jesus is a Practice - just like tying our shoes, building relationships, parenting, or learning any new skill. Here are some questions to reflect on throughout the week! - What is a skill that you had to get worse at before you got better, like the J-curve Pastor Jared talked about? How did you work through the frustration of feeling like you got worse? - A master will often teach us a particular way of doing things, when we would rather teach ourselves a way that's "easier." What is something you've had to re-learn about your faith over time while walking with Jesus? - When Peter walked on water with Jesus, he ended up sinking and needing Jesus to pull him up - he didn't do it perfectly! However, he was able to experience Jesus in a more tangible way than any of the disciples who stayed in the boat. Has there ever been a time where your failure has allowed you to experience Jesus more clearly or tangibly than before?
