Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 1, 2025 Referenced Scripture: 10:14-17, Matthew 10:19-20, John 16:7-8 Reflection Questions:1. “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary use words.” -Saint Francis of AssisiEvaluate this statement. What you like or dislike about it? 2. What has caused you to be hesitant to talk to your friend or neighbor about your story of faith in Jesus? Have you had any positive or negative experiences? Explain. Take time to write out the 3 parts of your faith story… 3. Part 1: My Life before JesusWhat was your life like before you met Jesus? If you grew up in church knowing about Jesus, what was your life before you got serious following Him? 4. Part 2: How I Met JesusHow did you become a Christ-follower? Did you go through a particularly tough time in your life that led you to God? Did a friend invite you to a church service? Did a family member introduce you to Jesus? Did an experience inspire you to fully commit to following? 5. Part 3: My Life since I Met JesusWhat difference has following Jesus made in your life? How has knowing Him impacted how you walk through both the good and the hard times in life? In the sermon we talked about the difference between religion and Christianity was DO vs. DONE. How would you explain this idea to someone who was not a person of faith? Questions to help understand where a person is at on their faith journey: * Do you have any kind of spiritual background?* Do you have a belief in God? What do you think God is like? How did you come to those beliefs about God?* Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God, or staying about the same?* If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would you say? 6. Reflect: What do you like or dislike about these questions? What questions would you add? 7. Romans 10:14-15, 17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ... Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Why would you say it is necessary to use our words to help someone understand the “good news” of the gospel? How would explain the good news to someone with no faith background? What are the things they need to understand in order to make a decision to follow Jesus? 8. Who is someone in your life you could share your story with this week? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | May 25, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Mark 10:45, John 13:1-17, Luke 18:40-41, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 Reflection Questions: 1. What does serving someone communicate about them? What does it communicate about the one who serves? What makes a lifestyle of serving and focusing on the needs of others difficult? What keeps us from serving others? 2. Why is serving important to the mission of helping people come to know and follow Jesus? 3. Read John 13:1-17. What observations do you make about serving from this example of Jesus? 4. Why do you think Jesus chose to wash His disciples' feet the night before His crucifixion? How would you have felt if you had been there? 5. Why is it significant that God himself took on the task of the lowest slave? 6. Jesus modeled that he is willing to serve people that would betray him, deny him, and desert him. What does this teach us about who we are called to serve? Why can this be difficult? Do you think this is realistic? 7. Jesus served in proximity → those that he had personal contact with. Who are the people in your sphere of influence that you could intentionally serve? Why do you think it might be important to know HOW they need to be served? How can we learn what their real needs are? 8. Jesus served with the POWER of God. How can we access the power of God as we seek to love and serve people? How can praying for people be a tangible way to serve them? How can you know how to pray for people? 9. Jesus promises that we will be blessed if we follow his example. How have you been blessed by serving others? How have you been blessed by others serving you? 10. Who from your sphere of influence do you think God wants you to serve this week? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Have you ever felt unheard? What was that like for you? 2) When was the last time you truly felt listened to, known, and loved? What was so special about that experience? 3) Of the people you are praying to BLESS, how much do you know about them? What would be some good questions to help you know and love them a little more? History, Heritage, High Points, Hard Times Hurts, Hopes, Heroes, Habits, Hand of God 4) What is it about sharing a meal that seems to deepen a friendship so quickly? 5) Why is eating with someone such an effective way to bless them? What are some excuses you have for not sharing a meal with people? What will it take for you to overcome those barriers? 6) Who will you share a meal, dessert, or coffee with this week?

How did they relate to you? 3. What is your greatest fear or frustration when it comes to loving people and sharing the good news of Jesus with those around you? 4.

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | May 4, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Hebrews 11:6, 2 Timothy 1:6 Sermon Quotes: Adventure: “An unusual or exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. A daring and exciting activity calling for enterprise and enthusiasm.” “Exploration of unknown territory.” “We are living progressively sheltered, sterile, temperature-controlled, overfed, under challenged, safety-netted lives.” – Michael Easter 1. God Created Us For Adventure 2. God Intentionally Places People Into Adventure. 3. Nature is the Nurture of Adventure 4. All Of Us Need to Experience God and Adventure “Scientists are finding that certain discomforts (read: adventures) protect us from physical and psychological problems like obesity, heart disease, cancers, diabetes, depression, and anxiety, and even more fundamental issues like feeling a lack of meaning and purpose.” Hebrews 11:6a (NIV): “Without faith it is impossible to please God…” 2 Timothy 1:6b (NIV): “…fan into flame the gift God gave you…” “If anyone would ask me what the peaks were, the high moments of my life experience – really, zing! the whole thing in a nutshell – those races would be it. More than anything else in my life.” – Joseph Cambell What's your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor Referenced Scripture: John 11:16, John 20:24-29, Matthew 28:17-17 Reflection Questions:1. Our doubts are often disappointments in disguise. Are there any disappointments that are defining your experience? 2. Thomas was honest enough with himself and the other disciples that he was disappointed with the resurrection. Do you have a group of people you can be that vulnerable with? 3. Read and underline Matthew 28:16-17. What does it tell us about the heart of God that he put the keys to the kingdom in the shaky hands of people who were something less than certain? 4. Thomas cries out “My Lord and My God” after his interaction with the risen Jesus. Do you believe, or are you willing to believe that there is a loving God who is greater than yourself who wants to have a relationship with you? 5. Scripture shows us, in people like Thomas and Abraham, how the process of revealing both our trust and lack of trust stretches our faith. Where have you been demanding certainty (around a decision, a course of action, or a future uncertainty) where God might be using “strategic ambiguity” to grow you more? 6. What have you been taught, or assumed, that doesn't make sense or causes you to keep your distance from God? 7. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection reveal he always makes the first step towards being all in for you and I. What step might he be inviting you to take this today? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | April 20, 2025 Referenced Scripture:1 Corinthians 15:3-19, John 7:5, Mark 3:20-21, Matthew 27:62-66, Mark 16:6-7, Luke 22:32-62, Romans 6:4, John 11:25-26 Reflection Questions: 1. What have been some “fork in the road” moments you have experienced on your spiritual journey with God? How have those shaped your life either positively or negatively? 2. Why is it important to know that the truth of Christianity is rooted in an event of human history (resurrection of Jesus) and not simply the life and teachings of Jesus? 3. Do you believe that the changed lives of the disciples and Jesus' closest followers is compelling evidence for the actual resurrection of Jesus? Why or why not? 4. What other evidence convinces you that Jesus actually rose bodily from the dead? Do you have any doubts or questions? Explain. 5. Read Luke 22:60-62 Peter replied, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly. 6. What expression do you think was on the face of Jesus as he looked at Peter in the midst of his failure and betrayal? Why do you think that? 7. How does Jesus look at you in the midst of your failures in this life? How is Jesus looking at you now? How does our answer to this question affect how we will respond to Jesus? Explain. 8. Are you at a fork in the road moment with Jesus right now? Why or why not? What would it look like to go ALL IN with Him at your fork in the road? What is your next step toward Him? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker Referenced Scripture: Romans 7:14-25 & Galatians 5:17-23 Reflection Questions: 1. In which areas of your life is your “spirit willing,” but your “flesh weak”? For example, is it exercising, organizing, cutting out junk food, or filing your income taxes by April 15th? In other words, what is something you've tried really hard to change in your life but find yourself falling back into old patterns? 2. Read Romans 7:14-25 aloud. What stands out to you in Paul's description of his inner conflict? In the sermon, Jim mentioned that when he was 19 years old, he appreciated Paul's honesty and vulnerability. How do you respond to Paul's vivid portrayal of his internal struggle? 3. Verse 15 states: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Can you relate to this? How have you experienced this tug-of-war in your spiritual journey? 4. In Romans 7:16-17, Paul describes the source of our struggle as “sin that dwells within me.” This “indwelling sin” refers to the constant presence and influence of sin in a believer's life, even after they have been justified and regenerated by faith in Jesus Christ. Why is it beneficial to recognize this as a spiritual reality for all Christians? 5. Romans 7:22 states, “For in my inner being I delight in God's law.” How can a person genuinely delight in God's law yet still struggle to live by it consistently? What does this reveal about the journey of spiritual growth? 6. Romans 7:24 states, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” How does this verse express both despair and longing? Have you ever experienced that kind of desperation in your relationship with God? 7. The sermon emphasized that Romans 7:24-25 could be referred to as Paul's Four Steps. How do these steps connect to the struggle you face between your flesh and spirit? Have you taken these steps?They are:* HONEST CONFESSION: “Wretched man that I am!” (7:24a)* DESPERATE QUESTION: “Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (7:24b)* GOSPEL DECLARATION: “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25a) * OPEN ADMISSION: “So then, I serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh, I serve the law of sin.” (7:25b) 8. Tim Keller writes, “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time, we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” How does Keller's quote relate to Romans 7:14-25? How does his quote relate to you? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

If you did Step 4 from two weeks ago, what did you learn about yourself? What did you like/not like about doing a moral inventory? Share about the process. 2. We transform and grow and are healed when we are in an environment where we are known and loved. Why do you think this true and necessary? If you disagree, why do you disagree? 3. What makes confessing our sin and being vulnerable to others difficult for you? What barriers to you need to overcome to make confession part of your life and practice? 4. Share a time when you confessed sin to someone else and experienced healing and change. Have you ever had confession go poorly? What made it a bad experience? 5. What needs to be true of someone that you would share your moral inventory with? Describe them. 6. Do you have a person like that in your life? If not, what steps could you take to develop that kind of relationship? Are you that kind of person for others? 7. Why is confessing our sin to another person a big and real test of our faith in God? What makes it risky? What is the reward of confession? Do you think the risk is worth the reward? Why or why not? 8. What is one thing that you could confess to a friend this week to experience grace and healing? Who will you do that with? When will you do it?
Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | March 30, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 6:15-23; Matthew 6:24 Reflection Questions: 1. Everyone serves something/someone and after we serve long enough we take on its characteristics. What do you serve? Who or what, claims your loyalty? 2. What is God making aware of your motives and your loyalties? (Psalms 139:23-24; searching moral inventory) 3. In what ways have you made choices to serve God? 4. Who are your other “gods”?

Is there sin or weakness or brokenness in your life that you have grown to tolerate? 2. What does it look like in your life to battle against sin? How can we actually offer ourselves to sin? What does that look like in your life? 3. What does it mean to offer yourself to righteousness? What are some ways that you do that in your life? Be specific. How is that different from simply just “trying to stop sinning”? 4. What does it mean to “count” yourself dead to sin? Explain. How can someone know if they have truly done this? 5. What is our part in overcoming sin? What is God's part in helping us overcome sin? How have you experienced your part and God's part working together? Share an example. Read Psalm 139:23-24 6. Why is taking a “searching and fearless moral inventory” critical in overcoming sin and experiencing freedom from slavery to sin in our life? 7. What can make it difficult to spend time searching the depths of our heart for sin and brokenness? What is the reward for doing this? How have you experienced this in your life? When was the last time you spent time doing this? 8. Spend time this week making a “searching and fearless moral inventory” of your life.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | March 16, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 5:20-21, Romans 6:1-7, 1 John 1:8, Romans 8:15-16 Reflection Questions: 1. Read Romans 6:1-7 Why is the idea of grace (our righteousness is received and not achieved) difficult for people to understand? How is grace different from how the world normally operates? Give some examples. 2. How does grace open up the possibility of people taking advantage of God's kindness and grace? 3. What are some reasons that Paul gives to believers as to why it makes no sense to take advantage of grace by continuing sin? 4. What does it mean that we have “died to sin”?

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | January 5, 2024 Referenced Scripture: Acts 17:16-34, 1 Peter 3:15b Reflection Questions:1) In his sermon, Jim shared the story of calling his mother after the birth of their first child. Reflect on a moment when you had the chance to share good news with someone special. What was the good news? Was it easy to tell them? How did that experience make you feel? 2) Generally, sharing good news with others is easy. But is it easy for you to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others? If it's not, why does it feel challenging for you? 3) In Acts 17:16-34, Luke recounts the story of the Apostle Paul's visit to Athens. When he saw the city, we were told, “he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols” (Acts 17:16b). Why do you believe he was so distressed by the rampant idolatry? 4) When you look at American culture, do you see us as a nation “full of idols”? Tim Keller's definition of idolatry helps answer that question. He writes, “What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.” (Counterfeit Gods, xvii) According to his definition, which idols do we see in ourselves and others as worshiping? 5) In Athens, Paul preached the gospel to three distinct groups of people in three separate locations: the Jews in the synagogue (17:17a), philosophers in the marketplace (17:17b-18), and intellectuals at the Areopagus (17:18-31). How did he adjust his approach without compromising the message of the gospel? 6) Who do you know with little or no background in the Bible or the gospel? How would you explain the gospel to them differently than someone from a church background? 7) Bob Pierce, the founder of World Vision, prayed to God, “Break my heart with the things that break Your heart.” What troubles your heart about your friends and our community? What specific needs do you notice? What do you believe God is urging you to do in response? 8) In the sermon, the analogy of a traffic light was used to illustrate the three different responses that those who heard Paul preach the gospel had to his message. Acts 17:32-34 states, “When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, (red light) but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” (yellow light) 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. (green light). Why is it important to recognize that responses to the preaching of the gospel can vary widely, from mockery to curiosity and, hopefully, belief? What color is your “stoplight”? 9) Is there someone you think you should share the good news with this new year? What's your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Away from me, you evildoers!'-What thoughts/emotions/questions does this text bring up for you? What makes this text potentially unsettling? 4. How can it be possible to have apparent fruit in our lives when we are not truly rooted in Jesus? How is it that we can live self deception? 5.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 3, 2024 Reflection Questions: 1. What are the things that cause worry for people these days? What are the things that cause worry for you?2. Jesus asked, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” What point is Jesus trying to make about worry? What does worry produce in our life that don't want?3. Jesus said that “your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” What difference would it make in your life if you knew without a doubt that the Father knew and understood what you were going through, even if your circumstances didn't change?4. Jesus tells us that worry is evidence of a faith problem. How does worry indicate that we are viewing something incorrectly about our heavenly Father?5. Read Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --- Why does a heart of gratitude (thanksgiving) help remove a heart of worry? How can you tangibly practice gratitude when you are worried?6. Read Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. --- How can we learn to “think about what we think about”? How can we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ? How can guard ourselves from the thoughts and ideas of the world that cultivate worry in our souls? What's your next step?

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | October 6, 2024 Reflection Questions: 1. How did your parents resolve conflicts between you and your siblings? What's the best advice you've received for dealing with anger?2. Matthew 5:21-26 is the first of what has been called the "Six Antitheses." It is a series of statements in Matthew 5:21-48, where Jesus contrasts the "You have heard it said..." in culture with the "But I tell you..." of Jesus' teachings. Dallas Willard created a chart highlighting the differences in his book "The Divine Conspiracy" (page 146). Please read and discuss his summary of the six antitheses. Situation | Old Righteousness | Kingdom Righteousnessa. Irritation with one's associates. (5:21-26) | No murder. | Intense desire to be of help. No anger or contempt.b. Sexual attraction. (5:27-30) | No intercourse. | No cultivation of lust.c. Unhappiness with marriage partner. (5:31-32) | If you divorce, give “pink slip”. | No divorce, as then practiced.d. Wanting someone to believe something. (5:33-37) | Keep vows or oaths made to convince. | Only say how things are or are not. No verbal manipulation.e. Being personally injured. (5:38-42) | Inflict exactly the same injury on the offender. | Don't harm, but help, the one who has damaged you.f. Having an enemy. (5:43-48) | Hate your enemy. | Love & bless your enemy, as the heavenly Father does. 3. Read Matthew 5:23-24. Is there someone the Holy Spirit is prompting you “to go and be reconciled to”?How does Jesus develop a connection between anger and murder? And why is it so essential to guard your heart against anger and contempt?4. How do you distinguish between so-called righteous and unrighteous anger? Can you recall examples in the New Testament when Jesus expressed righteous anger? Read and discuss Paul's teaching about anger in Ephesians 5:26-32.5. In the sermon on Sunday, the question was asked, “How do we overcome anger when we've been overcome by anger?” What are some of the ways you have learned to overcome anger and contempt toward others?6. Read Matthew 5:23-24. Is there someone the Holy Spirit is prompting you “to go and be reconciled to”? What's your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal yourself to yourself.
