This is a message from Spring Session 2021 with Joel Gray.

We put Spring Session 2.0 together to answer the question, “What did we learn from the past year? What are we leaving behind and what are we taking with us as we seek to live with and become more like Christ?”

Discussion Questions:

1. Who are your best friends? What makes a good friend? Over the past year, have you been

able to spend more or less time with them? Have you made any new friends this year?

2. Joel talked about how important it is to surround yourself with good friends and people

you can ask questions and grow in your faith with. Are you a part of a group or bible study

like the one he was describing? If so, has it helped as you strive to follow and be more

like Christ? If you are not a part of a similar group, would you be willing to join one?

Maybe even start one?

3. What are some practical ways we can be more intentional about our friendships? How can

we make being a part of community more of a priority in our lives?

This is a message from Spring Session 2021 with JaVon Howse.

We put Spring Session 2.0 together in early 2021 to answer the question, “What did we learn from the past year? What are we leaving behind and what are we taking with us as we seek to live with and become more like Christ?”

Discussion Questions

1. Are you, like JaVon, tired of Netflix? What were some of the ways you used your time over

this past year? Were some of the ways good and healthy? Were any of them not? Be

honest with yourself and others as you talk and reflect.

2. JaVon describes the past year as a storm that we all had to go through together.

Additionally, he pointed out that we have our own family’s, and individual storms

happening simultaneously- this is new territory for most of us. What has this been like for

you? What has helped, and what hasn’t?

3. Using Matthew 4: 1-11 as a reference, JaVon asks an interesting question. “How many of

us, if we were offered the entire year back, would say no because of the growth that you

made in your relationship with Christ?” How would you answer that question? Has it been

a year of growth? Setbacks and hardship? For most of us, it’s been a difficult mix of both.

4. Using Philippians 3:12-14 and a sports analogy, we are challenged to learn from the storms

and losses that we have faced in life. Have you learned any lessons this year that you

want to take with you?

5. As things continue to move forward and return back to normal, JaVon encourages us to

take God with us because “God is the only consistent thing that will always be there for

us.” Do you believe this? How has this past year made it harder or easier for you to

believe that God is always with us? What are some practical ways that we can learn from

the past, move forward with God, and in turn, strengthen our relationship with Jesus and

become more like Him?

This is a message from Spring Session 2021 with Jason Wavle.

We put Spring Session 2.0 together in early 2021 to answer the question, “What did we learn from the past year? What are we leaving behind and what are we taking with us as we seek to live with and become more like Christ?” 

Discussion Questions

1. What is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do physically? What made it so tough?

Similarly, can you relate to Jason’s story at all? Have you ever been in a tough situation

and realized that you were being weighed down or burdened with things you shouldn’t

be carrying or didn’t really even need in the first place?

2. Jason referenced that he was trying to find purpose and joy in things that were not of

God. Specifically, he recognized that he had been seeking affirmation from, and was

finding his own personal worth and value from others. When this was stripped away and

brought to light, he felt hollow and empty. He then asks us, “When some of the things that

previously brought you joy and purpose were stripped away, how did it make you feel?

Did God reveal anything to you during this time?” How would you respond to these

questions?

3. Jason states, “You might not be where you want to be, but you are certainly not where

you used to be- so thank God for that.” Reflect on this. Have you taken any time to thank

God for the ways you have seen and experienced Him this year? Why or why not?

4. What habits, rhythms, ways of living, or treating others and yourself are you going to leave

behind? Has God revealed any relationships that you need to move on from or work to

improve? What about activities? Are you willing to be honest with yourself and others

about this?

5. Who are the people in your life that can help you let go of the old things that are not

giving you life and not helping to make you more like Jesus? Similarly, are there any

people in your life that you can help with this process?

Spring Session was going to be a one-day event focused on introducing a handful of spiritual disciplines to help us grow in our relationships with Jesus. When everything shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we quickly pivoted Spring Session to a virtual format. This is a message from Spring Session 2020 with Mike Creamer.
