Title: Jesus Shared 

The Point: Our daily connections with people can be opportunities to share Christ. 

The Bible Meets Life:  America is a diverse country of cultures, ethnicities, worldviews, and preferences. It is our human nature to gravitate toward people who are most like us, but the beauty of the gospel is that it is not only for people “just like us.” The gospel speaks to any culture, any time, and any place. In Acts 17, Paul gave us an example of how to communicate the gospel in any situation. 

Session Passage: Acts 17:16-18,22-23,30-31

Title: Jesus Displayed 

The Point: We can share Jesus with others as we step into their shoes. 

Life Connection: We tend to define people by the demographics of our church and the circle of Christians we regularly encounter. People who match those characteristics certainly need Jesus, but so do people outside our circles. To share Christ with these other people requires us to take the gospel into their culture rather than expecting them to come into ours. This calls for us to step outside our comfort zone, but leading people to know Jesus is worth it. 

Session Passage: 1 Corinthians 9:16-27

Title: Jesus Saves 

The Point: Jesus saves all who trust in Him. 

Life Connection: Religious groups want to come up with their own idea of salvation, and many in our society don’t think we need salvation at all. Yet even the most self-focused, self-satisfied individuals can have moments when they feel something’s missing or there’s something more to life. That “something more” is Jesus. We do need salvation, and when we look to the only One who can save us, we find what has been missing. 

Session Passage: Acts 2:22-24,32-41

Title: Jesus Matters 

The Point: Jesus is God, and no one has done what Jesus has done. 

Life Connection: Pontius Pilate once asked, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). People still ask that question today. Many people might acknowledge that truth resides in God, but different religions and philosophies have skewed what exactly that means. To understand truth fully and rightly one needs to look to God as He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ. The truth found in Jesus matters because Jesus matters. 

Session Passage: Colossians 1:15-22 

Session: 1 

Date of First Use: January 25, 2025 

Title: Truth Matters 

The Point: Truth does not reside in our own opinions and reasoning. 

Life Connection: In today’s culture, people want us to assume that truth is what the individual makes it to be. If that is true, then the concept of truth becomes non-existent because two opposing views can’t both be true. That viewpoint might lead some to conclude that truth doesn’t matter, yet because that notion is so illogical, we should be driven to the opposite conclusion: there must be a singular truth that applies to all people. 

Session Passage: Proverbs 16:20-25; 30:1-6 

Date of First Use: January 18, 2026 

The Point: Let the fear and majesty of God compel you to look out for others. 

Life Connection: Justice is the ideal in almost every culture. Unfortunately, the reality of injustice is just as universal. We all want justice when we’ve been wronged, but are we ready to step up when it’s someone else who needs help? People such as unborn children, the poor, orphans, and widows are often overlooked. Job was a man who sought to stand up and help others because he saw them as the handiwork of God.  

Session Passage: Job 31:13-23

Title: When Your Confidence Falls Short 

The Point: We can stand victoriously because of Christ. 

Life Connection: Living for Christ is not always easy. We get physically tired. Our confidence and resolve can weaken in a sinful world that continually calls to us. Sometimes it feels easier to give in than to stand strong. Thankfully, we are not meant to stand alone. Christ stands with us because He indwells His followers. There is nothing that comes against us that Christ has not already gained the victory over. 

Session Passage: 1 John 3:21–4:6 

Date of First Use: January 4, 2026 

Title: When Your Finances Fall Short 

The Point: Trust in God is far richer than financial prosperity. 

Life Connection: Six out of ten Americans believe money can buy happiness, or it would if they made 

$284,000 every year. [https://www.empower.com/the-currency/money/research-financial- happiness] Others joke, saying, “I know money doesn’t buy happiness, but I’d like to find out on my own.” We’d settle for creature comforts, satisfied with a flush bank account, when God wants so much more for us. There’s no true security or contentment in these things that do not last. God offers us something more secure and comforting—and it’s eternal. 

Session Passage: Luke 12:13-21; 21:1-4 

Date of First Use: December 28, 2025 

Title: When Your Provisions Fall Short 

 The Point: God provides what you need when you need it. 

Life Connection: We live in an instantaneous world. Microwaves quickly heat up ready-to-eat meals. TV offers us video on demand. Online shopping expedites the shopping experiences and offers us home delivery, often on the same day. Consequently, we can become frustrated or impatient when things aren’t available the second we want them. God does not work on our timetable, but He provides what we need when we need it. 

 Session Passage: 1 Kings 17:5-16 

Session 3

Date of First Use: December 21, 2025 

Title: When Your Understanding Falls Short 

The Point: God can do great things through you. 

Life Connection: Believers know there is nothing we can do to save ourselves; it’s all the work of Jesus. 

Yet once we’re saved, we too often attempt to live the Christian life in our own strength and understanding. God wants to work through us, and He wants to do it in a way that goes beyond our own natural abilities. When He does, it points to the power and presence of God in our lives.
