In this message we start our new series, "Not of this World". Being NOT OF THIS WORLD is a foundational truth for every Christian; now more than ever, we need to refocus and recalibrate the aim of our lives to reflect this fact! Together, we're gonna gain some practical and Spirit-filled ways in which we can be "not of this world."

Discussion Questions

Being not of this world causes numerous things to be true in our lives. I want you to focus on some "why" questions:

1. Why does it fulfill Jesus' joy?

2. Why do people hate us because of it?

3. Why does it keep us from the evil one?

4. Why is being sanctified the best way to show we're not of this world?

This message is a powerful one that was received by Pastor Tim during worship. The Lord spoke to us about spiritual maturity and how we can move forward on to being more mature in Christ. There are numerous disciplines we can apply in our lives that WILL make us more mature. We highly recommend listening to this message and reading your Bible more and more each day, praying and worshiping daily. These will absolutely help us be more spiritually mature.

In this message, Pastor Tim gives us some lasting advice when it comes to attacks: we should wait for the Lord. Waiting for the Lord is more active and includes more of the Lord moving in our lives than we are accustomed to thinking! Wanna see the goodness and protection of the Lord during attacks? Listen to this message!

Discussion Questions

1. Think of a time He was/became your Light and Salvation in an attack?

2. Do you feel like you are in a war? Share some reasons why you should.

3. Why was dwelling in the house of the Lord so important to the Psalmist? What did the New Covenant do to this idea?

4. Will you EXPECT to see the Lord and His goodness during your next attack?

In this message, Pastor Tim warns us about false prophets! Based in 2 Peter 2 and 3, we get a good grasp as to what false prophets believe and do. Then, we look at the Lord's advice to not be carried away by false prophets. This message is practical, helpful, and empowering.

Discussion Questions

1. Why does Scripture continually warn us about false prophets and certain people?

2. What traits from our passage have you seen in others in your life?

3. How do you plan to not be "carried away with the error of lawless people"?

4. What strategies/disciplines will you implement to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus?

In this message, we see how Daniel was a blessing to his king because he was responsible, excellent, and trustworthy. For this reason and more, his king was heartbroken when Daniel had to be sent to the lion's den. Throughout this entire episode, Daniel never lost trust in the Lord! Even when schemers plotted against him; even in the lion's den. Daniel never lost trust in God. Pastor Tim will give us keys based in Scripture that will help us have the same trust in our God!

Discussion Questions

1. Can we, as Christians, be as invaluable to our bosses as Daniel was to Darius?

2. Since we have Holy Spirit in us, we have a spirit of excellence in us! Does this sometimes cause jealousy around us? What are some reasons why?

3. Do you have daily spiritual disciplines like Daniel had (prayer)? You should. Do it! :)

4. Do your bosses, supervisors, or leaders ascribe your excellence to God?

Pastor Tim continues our message series, "When Attacks Come" with a message about Elijah titled, "In the Cave". Though Elijah was running for his life in fear, he was exactly where he needed to be to receive his mission from God. He needed rest, food, and nourishment to make the journey in the midst of the attack. Being where he needed to be, a vulnerable place, he was able to do accomplish the will of God in his life!

Discussion Questions

1. When was the last time you felt like you'd had enough? How did you respond?

2. What are some reasons we shouldn't isolate ourselves from others, especially when attacks come?

3. Why is rest and nourishment important before, during and after an attack?

4. Why did Elijah's prayer unlock the clear mission God had for him? What will you do to remember to pray, pray, pray during your next attack?

In this message, Pastor Ryan shares on Elijah and the prophets of Baal. In the story of Elijah, we see a man who was in love with God and knew him deeply. Through this relationship he was able to stand before a king that had gone astray and bring the people of God back to the one true God. We pray you're blessed by this message!

Discussion Questions

1. What history with God do you have that proves him to you?

2. Are you able to stand for what God says under pressure?

3. What things does the enemy try to pin on you when you’re under attack?

4. What needs to be done away with in your life to prevent the same attack?

When attacks come it is important to know that you are armored for the battle. God has given each of us battle armor, but we need to understand it and how to use it. In this message, Pastor Dani is going to give a detailed message about each piece of the armor of God and how we can use it to battle against the dark forces.

Discussion Questions

1. What about the Armor of God surprised you the most?

2. Take some time and ask God what your armor looks like? Take some time and write down what He tells you.

3. What can you do each day to help you wear your armor well?

In this message, Pastor Tim preaches on how certain people sneak in among us; they pretend to be followers of God, but are imposters. They pervert the grace of Jesus. Jude calls us to contend for the faith especially because "certain people" will rise up and drive people away from the gospel. As we fight for the faith, God will keep us and present us faultless before His presence with exceeding joy!

Discussion Questions

1. As saints, we are beloved (verse 1) and in a permanent state of being loved by God. Does this affect how you live?

2. Have you ever encountered one of these "certain people?" How could you tell? What was your experience with them?

3. In addition to the 5 points Jude gives us, how else do you think we can combat certain people?

4. What are some other reasons "certain people" cannot thrive in God's kingdom?
