    2. Let’s explore the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. What lessons can we draw from this parable about how we should manage our finances and the resources God has given us?



    3. According to 1 Timothy 6:6-12, 17-19, we are warned not to love money. What guidance does the Bible give us on how we should use our money instead? How can we apply both the warnings and positive actions in our daily lives?



    4. How can practicing generous stewardship help us resist the negative effects of greed, especially in our American Western culture? What does it mean to work hard, give generously, and live free from the entanglements of riches?



    5. Let’s compare and discuss different biblical characters who were wealthy and those who were not. How does the Bible portray wealth and poverty in their lives? How did these individuals serve (or fail to serve) God in their particular circumstances?

    SERMON NOTES
    AUGUST 4, 2024
    MESSAGE | PASTOR JORDAN MOODY
    TOPICAL SUMMER | HEAVEN
    MATTHEW 6:9-15

     

    Introduction: Misconceptions of Heaven and Earth
     

    Body: Kingdom of Heaven 

    Conclusion: Reframing Your Conception of Heaven and Earth

    Application:  Your Work is Not Wasted (1 Cor. 15:49-58) 

    Discussion Questions

    1. What are some general conceptions and possible misconceptions people have about heaven? What do you think of when you think of heaven? Do you include the earth in your hope for heaven as well? 
     
    2. What does the phrase from the Lord’s prayer in Matt. 6:10 teach you about heaven and earth and our purpose for being here right now?
     
    3. Discuss this quote: Kevin Deyoung: “Think of the good news of Revelation 11:15, which you may have heard in Handel’s Messiah. ‘The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.’ That’s what’s coming. The kingdom of God is the heavenly world breaking into our earthly existence. Do not think of the kingdom as a realm to which we are going as much as a reality that is coming to us.” 
     
    4. What encouragement can you draw from 1 Cor. 15:58 for living now in light of eternity? What should we be doing right now?

  • Topical Summer: Grace Over Sin
    PASTOR JORDAN MOODY

    ROMANS 5-8

    The Power of Grace (Romans 5-6) 

    1. Grace is a Free Gift 
     
    2. Grace Abounds 
     
    3. Exploiting Grace 
     
    4. Union With Christ 
     
    5. Death to Life
     
    The Presence of Sin (Romans 7)     
     
    The Freedom of the Spirit (Romans 8) 
     
    Discussion Questions
    1. How have you experienced and received the grace of God? Share a testimony of God’s grace for you. 
     
    2. What is union with Christ?  Why is this one doctrine called the “theological shorthand for the gospel itself”? (Romans 6:2-5)
     
    3. Discuss these quotes:  “Growing in Christ is . . . deepening. Implicit in the notion of deepening is that you already have what you need. Christian growth is bringing what you do and say and even feel into line with what, in fact, you already are…Real change occurs through this reality: the life of God is in the soul of Man. – Dane Ortlund” 
     
    4. What resonates with your own life experience with Paul’s example of his war with sin as a believer? (Romans 7:15-25)

  • Topical Summer: Anxiety

    TOPICAL SUMMER | Matthew 6:24-34

    COMMAND STATED (25) Don’t be anxious
     
    QUESTION 1 (25) Isn’t life more than stuff? 
     
    EXAMPLE A (26) Think about the birds and food/needs.  
      
    OBJECTION (27) Does worrying add value to your life? 
     
    EXAMPLE B (28-30) Think about the flowers and beauty. 
     
    QUESTION 2 (30) Where is your faith?   
     
    COMMAND APPLIED (31-32) 
     
    ACTION (33)  
     
    SUMMARY (34)  
     

    Discussion Questions

    1. What do you think is the source of the majority of our worries? What is causing our anxiety? 
     
    2. Think through Jesus’ logic from the sermon notes. Talk through the case Jesus builds from start to finish. After Jesus builds his case against anxiety, he gives an action step for what we should do now. Why are verses 33 and 34 the crucial conclusion to his case on counteracting our anxiety?  
     
    3. Look back at Matthew 6:24. How does this fit into the conversation on anxiety? 
     
    4. Give examples of how you can WEED out anxiety, FEED the roots of faith, and WATER the grass to thrive. (Weed+Feed+Water)  
     
    5. Share some of your anxieties and worries. Pray about them together as a group.

  • The Movement Continues
    Acts 28:17-31
    1. Proclaiming the Kingdom
     
    2. Already/Not Yet
     
    3. Inside Out
     
    4. Upside Down 
     
    5. Teaching Jesus 
     
    6. Unhindered  
     

    Discussion Questions

    1. What is your major takeaway from the sermon series, “Acts: The Movement Begins”? 
     
    2. I think you could use ellipses (...) instead of a period at the end of Acts 28:31. What does this tell us about our mission and identity as the church today? 
     
    3. Discuss the three natures of the Kingdom of God. How is the Kingdom of God “Already/Not Yet (Luke 19), Inside Out (Luke  17:20-21) , and Upside Down (Matt. 5:2-12)?” 
     
    4. We might look at Paul and see him as hindered, imprisoned, and bound. The world might look at Paul and say he foolishly wasted his life. But what can we learn from Paul’s faith and confidence in the gospel’s advance despite the outward hindering circumstances? (2 Tim. 2:8-9, Phil. 1:12-14)

  • Sailing With Paul

    Acts 27-28:16

    1. Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? How did you react? How might this passage instruct someone facing a trial or similar situation? 


    2. How does this narrative display the sovereign providence/control of God and the responsibility of humans? 
     
    3. Discuss this quote in its relation to the passage your current journey of faith:  “Storms and shipwrecks can actually be for our benefit. Paul was mature in Christ but was still being shaped through trials. We are often objective-oriented, but God is process-oriented. We just want to get to Rome, but God is even more interested in how we get there.” - Kent Hughes 


    4. What is courage? How do we see this in today’s passage and Paul’s life? 


    5. Read Hebrews 4:14-16. The same greek word is used for “supports” in Acts 27:17 and “to help” in Hebrews 4:16. How does this paint a picture of God’s help for us?

  • Paul on Trial

    Our eyes can be opened by the light of God's truth. Then turn away from Satan dying to our old selves and find new life when we turn to God. We can receive the forgiveness and undeserved grace from God and experience His peace. then knowing we have a place in God's family, as His children and understand the pure love of God and find belonging.
