How are we all like sheep, and how is Jesus the perfect shepherd to lead and protect and bless us as we follow Him? (A sermon by Rev. Jacob Percival, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

Are we obeying God's call to Christian community? Do we see the dangers of individualism? Do we have a strong theology of location? How could "missional communities" be a practical approach to living as the church? (A sermon by Pastor Dave Stratton, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

Is "experiment" a synonym for "faith"? Do you live an "experimental life of faith" with God every day? What does the life-cycle of faith look like as we seek God, live for him, and follow His leading? (A sermon by Pastor Dave Stratton, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

The world is in desperate need of Jesus! If you are a believer in Him, He lives through you! You are a missionary to a lost and needy world! How can Jesus use you to love and change your world? What is your missionary identity? What could it be? (A sermon by Pastor Dave Stratton, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

Have you ever had a "mountaintop experience" with God where you saw Him show up in power and experienced closeness with Him? What was it like after that experience? Were you exhausted? Did you feel lonely? Was there a spiritual let-down? If so, you are in good company! Learn from Elijah's example how we as children of God can listen for His voice both when He shouts and when He whispers! (A sermon by Pastor Dave Stratton, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

What if our children's spiritual lives never got any further than ours are right now? Would we be satisfied with the spiritual "ceiling" that our own walks with Jesus set for our kids? Jesus is supposed to set the spiritual standard for both adults and children alike! And there are a lot of things adults could learn from children about faith! What is your relationship to the younger people in your life? Are you in community together seeking Christ? (A sermon by Pastor Dave Stratton, at New Hope Christian Chapel)

Who are committed to be "with"? Who are you committed to be "for"? Is there such a thing as faith or church without commitment? What kind of commitments did Jesus call His disciples to?

What is the relationship between food & faith, meals & community? How do shared meals as believers generate friendship, generosity, vulnerability, learning, and gratitude? And what is the biblical history of meals as they relate to God and His people as well as Jesus and the Lord's Supper?

What exactly are Christians supposed to do together? How are they supposed to treat one another? What ingredients should be found in every Christian relationship and community? And does this relate to just followers of Christ, or to everyone?

Jesus set us a model for relationship that represents the best of all levels of community! Do you have a circle of 3 intimate Christian friends? Do you have a group of 12 believing friends that you live life with? Are you a part of a larger group of believers to reach out and change the world? If you're missing any of these levels of relationships, then learn from Jesus' example and see what you're missing!
