Date: January 19, 2025 Worship Leader: Chris Norby Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Excerpts from Job 38-40 / John 15 / James 1 Questions: What is a significant hardship you're enduring right now? How are you / could you surrender that to Jesus? What is / could a greater awareness of His presence and time with Him produce? How might it impact the message you're communicating from your platform? Video: MLK Mountaintop Speech Conclusion

Date: January 12, 2025 Worship Leader: Danessa Gonzalez Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Acts 11:19-26 / 13:1-3 Video: Russell Johnson Part II (24:43-50:08) Reflection Questions for Video THREE | In Antioch, the church cultivated friends, not followers. Describe a relationship with a friend or mento who has impacted the way you follow Jesus. Describe a relationship with a friend who is of a different generation, ethnic background, who speaks a different language, or is from a different culture who has impacted the way you see diversity in the Body of Christ. FOUR | In Antioch, they were looking for God's called, not just the charismatic. What is a gift God has given you that is often overlooked by many, but still seems to be making a difference in people's lives as you share it with them? Are you ever discouraged in your gifts because you don't feel like they are recognized? If so, explain. What are the overlooked gifts in the lives of people around you that you could foster and encourage them to step into? How could you encourage them? FIVE | In Antioch, the church was committed to sending, not staying. If you could be sent out as a missionary from your church, where do you think you would be sent? (Within the church? Within the neighborhood? Beyond?) If that were to happen, how would you need your church family to be praying for you? SIX | In Antioch, the church was living in exile, not its own empire. In what ways do you most feel like you're living in a world you don't belong to? In what ways might you reimagine the ways you're living out your faith because our culture is changing so quickly? In what ways do you imagine that God may be doing something new through your life and through the life of South Everett Foursquare this year?

Date: January 5, 2025 Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Acts 11:19-26 Video Link: Russell Joyce - Distinctives of the Antioch Church (Watch Through 24:43) Questions for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting: "Lord, what is your heart towards us? How do you want to transform us? What is your invitation to join you in your work this year? ONE | In Antioch, the church's life was oriented around the presence, not the platform. What are the platforms we have in our lives presently What places and/or resources are available to us by which we can broadcast thoughts, messages and ideas? How closely is our sense of self-worth connected to the size and scope of our platform? In what ways are you currently experiencing the private presence of God in your life? When Jesus asks you, what do you love about my private presence, what do you say to Him? TWO | In Antioch, the church was filled with the prophetic, not the performance. How might you be/could you be operating as a prophetic voice? How do you see South Everett operating as a prophetic voice on Sunday and during the throughout the week? Are there ways you may be striving to gain the attention of others, through self-driven performance?

Date: December 22, 2204 Worship Leader: Chris Norby Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Luke 2:1-21 / Philippians 2:1-11 / 1 Peter 1:3-9 Video: A Visit to Bethlehem (Dr. Randall Smith) Devotional Questions: ONE: If I can remember that Christ came into the chaotic realities of our world as a baby 2000 years ago, I can find JOY amidst the chaotic realities of our world today. Reflection Question: Just like Solomon wondered if God would really dwell on earth, what are you wondering about if God could really do today? How might that specific action on God's behalf bring you JOY (calm delight) today? TWO: If I can remember that the Lord will do things in unexpected ways to accomplish His purposes, I can find JOY when I think I'm out of options. Reflection Question: When has the Lord done the unexpected thing in an unexpected way to bring you JOY when you thought you were out of options? THREE: If I can remember that Jesus chose to become like us, I can find JOY when I don't feel like anyone knows what I am going through. Reflection Question: When was a time when the Lord met you when you were feeling a little lost and alone?

Date: December 15, 2024 Worship Leader: Danessa Gonzalez Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: 1 Kings 8:22-30 / 1 John 3:1 / Luke 2:1-7 Activity ONE Question: Why did Jesus come as a child, and why does our Lord invite us to embrace a childlike posture before him? If you were to do a little investigative reporting on this series of unfolding events, what would you uncover? Answer the following questions about the Luke 2:1-7 text. Who: What: Where: When: Why: How: Activity TWO The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, we have seen his glory, the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” - John 1:14 NIV “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” - John 1:14 The Message When we hand a child a box of crayons, they will draw for hours. When we hand an adult a box of crayons, they will quickly tell us they are not an artist. Where did we lose our wonder, and how can we reclaim it? Using your imagination, draw a picture of John 1:14 as the Lord reveals it to you.

Date: December 8, 2024 Worship Leader: Chris Tien Speaker: Chris Peppler Passages: Isaiah 9:1-7 and Colossians 1:15-19 Questions: What isn't going my way right now? Am I seeking peace or control? If control, what is an unexpected avenue by which the Lord could restore my peace?

Date: December 1, 2024 Worship Leader: Chris Norby Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Genesis 3:1-15 / John 1:1-5 Music Devotion: Worth the Wait Questions: (For our 300 Seconds of Silence) What (or Who) is it, on the precipice of 2025, that I am placing my hope in? How is HOPE requiring me to wait? What might be the positive outcomes as I wait on Jesus for HOPE to come?

Date: November 24, 2024 Worship Leader: Chris Tien Speaker: Laura Ospino Passage: John 14:15-31 / Acts 1:8 "Right after Jesus left and right before the Holy Spirit came, what were the disciples doing? They were together, praying fervently. They were in agreement, united with one mind and purpose. It is so important that we continue to do this, let's do what He did. There are so many more opportunities to experience the outpouring of His Holy Spirit." - Laura

Date: November 10, 2024 Worship Leader: Danessa Gonzalez Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Matthew 27:62-66 and Luke 23:56b Changes in our life often require waiting.

Date: November 3, 2024 Worship Leader: Addy Norby Speaker: Chris Peppler Passage: Matthew 26-27 Reflection Questions: What is your long obedience in the same direction?

Date: October 27, 2024 Worship Leader: Chris Tien Speaker: Lauren Phillips Passage: Matthew 26 Church of Gethsemane Video Clip (0:00-07:23:00) Reflection Questions: (With audio guide, Into the Garden of Gethsemane) When you're under pressure: How can you honor others' gifts and kindness towards you? How can you face betrayal or dishonesty of others with grace? How can you create spaces that foster community and share the love you have found? How can you be vulnerable in your weakness and call others to join you in prayer? How can you be generous with your resources towards others?
