"Make It Count" – Dr. Frank Weller
In this powerful message, Dr. Frank Weller, President of Great Lakes Christian College, challenges us to live a life that truly matters.

Using a compass, a plumb line, and an hourglass, he shows us how to:
🧭 Follow God’s direction
📏 Align our lives with His truth
⏳ Use our time to honor Him and make the most of every opportunity

Don’t waste your life—make it count for something eternal.

The sermon compares the study of Romans to a marathon or a long bike ride. How has this "journey" through Romans deepened your understanding of the Christian life? 

Why is it important to first acknowledge our own brokenness before seeking transformation? How do we sometimes try to "mop up the water" without turning off the faucet? 

The sermon references investing “10,000 hours” in becoming wise in what is good. What spiritual disciplines are you currently practicing to invest in your transformation? 

Paul says, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” How does that promise affect how you view current struggles? Where do you need to persist in faith today?

Why do you think Kaylee stopped to help instead of finishing her race? What does that tell us about following Jesus? 

Has anyone ever helped you through a hard time? How did that make you feel? 

What does it mean to live a life that “overflows with hope?” How can we show that to others? 

Why is it better to help someone who messed up instead of judging them?Is there someone around you who needs help or encouragement? What’s one way you could show up for them?

Conversation Starters:

1. In what ways does the story of the Jesus Movement highlight the tension between tradition and transformation? 

2. What does it mean to live “in step with the Spirit” rather than by legalistic rules?  How do you nurture this sensitivity? 

3. How can we confront one another spiritually without becoming judgmental?

4. What does healthy spiritual confrontation look like? Why do you think Christians sometimes elevate non-essential issues above unity? 

5. How does Paul’s teaching on freedom and responsibility in Romans 14:13–21 challenge your personal habits or attitudes?
