What are some of your family's Christmas traditions? What are your favorite Christmas stories or movies?2. What are some ways we see Herod's opposition and hostility toward Jesus in Matthew 2:1-12 & 16? Why do you think Herod is furious about the birth of Jesus? What are some modern examples of opposition and hostility toward Jesus?3. While we might not be opposed to Jesus the same way Herod was, we can still have “the spirit of Herod” in our lives. What are some characteristics of a life that is marked by the spirit of Herod? How would this contrast with the spirit of Jesus? What is an area of your life that could look more like the spirit of Jesus and less like the spirit of Herod?4. What are some examples from Matthew 2 that demonstrate how the Old Testament was anticipating the coming of Jesus? Why do you think the religious leaders are not more excited about the idea of Christ being born? 5. Have you ever talked with someone who was indifferent or apathetic toward Jesus? How would you respond to someone who said they are neutral or indifferent toward Him?6. According to Matthew 2:10-11, how do the wise men respond to Jesus? What are some ways we should follow their example? 7. What area of your life are you most hesitant to have Jesus “rearrange?” What would it look like for you to live like He is the King over that area of your life?Mission Highlight - The Adi Dravida in IndiaThe Adi Dravida in South India, have long faced social discrimination and poverty. Many work as farmers, laborers, or leather workers, though some are gaining access to education and professional jobs. Most follow Hinduism, with only a tiny Christian presence despite having Scripture available in Tamil. Pray that God would open doors for the gospel among the Adi Dravida, raise up Indian believers to build genuine friendships, and strengthen the few existing Christians to boldly share Christ within their communities.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 11/23 29,630Giving For 11/30 25,532YTD Budget 761,538Giving 698,433 OVER/(UNDER) (63,105) Fellowship 101New to Fellowship?

The history of stress started in 1936. Now, a little less than a century later, according to the "experts," stress is responsible for every mental and medical problem under the sun. Is this true? The problem might be that we are believing the "experts" more than God's Word. It is the negative things we believe about stress that cause it to be detrimental to our well-being, not stress itself. Stress is a challenge, but it is not a threat. Stress, if viewed rightly, is meant to be beneficial.

Sometimes we think of prayer as figuring out the best strategy to get something from God. After all, He has everything, and we have less. But have you ever stopped to think about what God is wanting? And what could you give Him? There are things we give to one another in relationships without a single word being spoken. It should be the same with God. Gratefulness truly makes a huge difference in what we receive from God because wholeness and gratitude go hand in hand. Ask yourself, is God getting what He wants out of your life? Are you meeting the unspoken request He has of you?

What motivates you? The high side or the low side? John the Baptist sang the funeral song, and Jesus sang the wedding song, but still the people didn't move. What does it take for you to go deeper with God? Do you need to be yelled and told to repent like John the Baptist, or does the love and celebration of a wedding with Jesus move you? We may not realize it, but it is our choice whether we operate from the low side or the high side.

Forgiveness, Resurrection, and Life1 Corinthians 15Message Slides For The bulletin in PDF form, click here. I believe in . . . the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.HOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. As we conclude our study through the Apostles' Creed, what has been a key takeaway you have found helpful? Has your view of creeds changed? Are there any new ways you have used the creed or plan to use the creed? 2. We believe in the forgiveness of sins (see 1 Cor 15:3 & 17). To experience forgiveness of sins, we have to be able to recognize our sin. What are some examples of how people ignore or downplay their sins? What are some examples of ways you ignore or downplay your sins? Why is it important we rightly understand our sin? 3. We talked about learning how to “show yourself the receipt” to be reminded there is forgiveness of sin. What are some ways you show yourself the receipt, and when have you needed to do this? What are some key verses we can use to remind ourselves of God's forgiveness? 4. We believe in the resurrection of the body. What passage stands out to you from 1 Cor 15 that addresses our future resurrection? Explain the passage. 5. What do you look forward to most about your resurrected, glorified body? Why is it important we think rightly about this future resurrection? 6. We believe in life everlasting. If someone were to ask you what eternal life in heaven will be like, how would you answer? How would you respond to someone who is concerned heaven will be missing something we are able to enjoy in this life? Are you concerned about this? 7. One day death will be defeated (see 1 Cor 15:26, 54-57). How should this truth impact the way we live now (see v.58)? In what specific area of your life should you live differently since we know death will be destroyed by Christ?Mission Highlight - The Sansi in India The Sansi people of northern India still bear the weight of a centuries-old stigma from when they were branded as criminals under British rule. Many live in poverty and isolation, mistrustful of outsiders and unaware of the gospel. With low literacy and few resources, they struggle to survive day to day. Pray that believers would reach them with compassion and that the love of Christ would break the walls of shame and rejection that have bound them for generations.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 10/26 38,172Giving For 11/02 33,119YTD Budget 623,077Giving 568,275 OVER/(UNDER) (54,802) Operation Christmas Child Collection Week is Almost Here!We are excited about your involvement as we work toward our goal of 8,200 boxes!

What makes the final decision in your life? Whose words are you believing? Your parents, your friends, or your own opinions? For God's Word to truly be your final authority, His Word must take over every area of your thinking. His ways are truly higher than our ways. God is looking for sell out. Those who will sell everything, change their way of thinking completely, to gain the treasure found in the field.

A call to intercession. Could what happened to Charlie Kirk have been stopped? Why does it seem as if evil and witches have more power than most Christians? Could it be God has made the execution of HIs will on earth depend on the will of man? "Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." -Matthew 16:18-19. So God has given us the power and authority, but are we using it? When we bind, we have the power to limit Satan's power on the earth.

The Effects of Fear. Chris Scoz by Home Church

The Holy Spirit and the ChurchEphesians 4:1-6Message SlidesI believe in the Holy Spirit - Who applies the work of Christ - Who makes us holy - Who unifies usI believe in the holy catholic Church, the communion of saintsBook recommendation:Keep in Step with the Spirit by JI PackerHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. When you think about the Holy Spirit, what images or ideas come to your mind? What Bible passages are most informative for how you think about the Holy Spirit? 2. Do you think there is more mystery surrounding the Holy Spirit than there is with the Father and the Son? Explain why.3. Ephesians 1:3-14, 2:4-6, and 3:16-17 reveal a close relationship between the Spirit and the Son. Look at these passages (and/or John 16:14) and talk about the nature of this relationship. Based on these passages, how can we know if the Spirit is at work in our lives?4. The 3rd Person of the Trinity is called “Holy” because one of His roles is to make us holy. Ephesians 5:18 refers to this as being “filled with the Spirit.” Explain what this means and how we can know if we are being filled with the Spirit. In what areas of your life can you become more controlled by the Spirit? 5. Ephesians 4:4 says, “there is one body and one Spirit.” Explain the relationship among the Spirit, the church, and unity. What does it look like for us to work for unity in the church? Why is this essential? 6. What is the universal, invisible church? What is the local, visible church? Which of these do you tend to emphasize? Why are both important?Mission Highlight - The Java Pesisir Lor in Indonesia The Java Pesisir Lor are a coastal Javanese sub-ethnic group living along northern Java. Traditionally farmers and fishers, many now seek skills for urban and rural jobs. Most follow Sunni Islam, though many practice mystical Sufi traditions and local rituals. They need better access to water, jobs, and economic development, as well as exposure to the gospel.

Deliverance is a spiritual house cleaning. We are responsible for 3 areas. 1. Personally. 2. Getting witchcraft out of your family. 3. Purging the Land of Evil. God means for witchcraft to be destroyed and completely removed from your life. And it's not just evil that gets us in trouble. It is when we try to mix good and evil together. Comprise or agreement with the enemy at any level leaves an open door for the enemy. In Acts 19 they destroyed all the witchcraft books and objects by fire. Even objects from witchcraft must be removed. God wants and is willing to set you completely free, but witchcraft has to be completely cut out of your life.

He Rose, Ascended, Is Seated, and Will ComeActs 1:1-11Message SlidesOn the third day He rose againHe ascended into heavenHe is seated at the right hand of the FatherAnd He will come to judge the living and the deadHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. The previous section of the creed talked about Jesus' suffering and death. This current section talks about His resurrection and the events that followed. What are some of the consequences if Jesus had not risen from the grave? How much of an impact does Jesus' resurrection have in your daily life? 2. We talked about the two states of Christ: humiliation and exaltation. His humiliation involves four steps down: incarnation, suffering, death, and burial. His exaltation involves four steps up: resurrection, ascension, session, and return. Which of these do you tend to think about most/least? Explain why. Which of these should you give more time and attention to? 3. Acts 1:3 says Jesus presented himself alive “by many proofs.” What are some examples of the proofs (you could look at some of the proofs in Luke 24)? What are some lessons we learn from these proofs? For example, why is it significant he ate fish? Or why is it significant he explained the Scriptures? 4. We said it is important to keep Jesus' death and resurrection central in our thinking and in our lives. What are some examples of ways we can do this? 5. Jesus' session at the Father's right hand is an important teaching in the Bible. Do you emphasize Jesus currently sitting at the Father's right hand? Why is it significant that Jesus is at the Father's right hand? (You could refer to Acts 2:32-36 or Heb 8:1 or Rom 8:34.) What impact should this teaching have on our lives now?6. Jesus' second coming is another substantial teaching in the Bible. Do you emphasize Christ's return? Why is it significant that He will return? (You could refer to Acts 10:42 or Acts 17:31 or 2 Tim 4:8.) What impact should this teaching have on our lives now?Mission Highlight - The Khmer in CambodiaThe Khmer are Cambodia's majority people and heirs of the ancient empire seen at Angkor Wat. Most live in rural villages with little access to education, clean water, or healthcare. Their identity is rooted in Buddhism mixed with ancestor and spirit worship, and only a small minority follow Christ. Though Scripture and the JESUS Film exist in Khmer, they still need to see Christ's love through practical help and local believers sharing the gospel with their families and neighbors.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 09/29 27,682Giving For 10/05 33,185YTD Budget 484,615Giving 423,018 OVER/(UNDER) (61,597)The 2025 OCC Season Begins!Operation Christmas Child is a global project of Samaritan's Purse that shares God's love with children in need through gift-filled shoeboxes.

Who do you place your soul next to? Soul ties either bring bondage or joy. Healthy soul ties should have a peaceful and settling influence on you. Jonathan loved David as himself, and their souls were knit together. It is so important to understand how God set it up. We are to love God more than we love ourselves, and we are to love those God has placed in our lives the same as we love ourselves. If God is not included in your relationship or you love another person more or less than you love yourself, it will become unhealthy. Loving God with your heart, soul, and mind creates an emotional intimacy that fills every other relationship in your life, but loving something witchy or dark will bring in emotional destruction. It is a necessity to have the Lord wrap the whole thing together because it is impossible to stand and endure in life without His great love. 

Are you hooked on a feeling? Soul ties are meant to be good, healthy, and from God, but when the enemy uses them for his purposes, they must be broken. When we have agreed with the enemy in any area, we must acknowledge the agreement, repent, and renounce until the soul tie is broken. Never before have we had visual simulation in the way we do today. TV, movies, and videos can open you up to a soul tie, causing you to relate deeply to something that isn't of God. Horror movies especially mix fear with fascination. The enemy is working to make it so that you are not a threat to his kingdom. But don't fall for his schemes. Don't train yourself with fear. Train yourself to overcome fear with the Name of Jesus.

What Are Your Biggest Fears? Chris Scoz by Home Church

There are things, as believers, that ought not be in our lives. Many times, we settle for crumbs when God has promised us bread. Jesus loosed a woman from an infirmity she had had for 18 years. In Jesus' words, what was happening to her should never have been. It is those demonic things that should have never been that God calls us to defeat. Our assignment is to take back territory that remains in the hands of the enemy so we can see the fullness of God's will in our time. 

Crucified, Died, and Was BuriedMark 15Message Slides For the bulletin in the PDF form, click here. SufferedCrucifiedDiedBuriedHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. What are some examples of suffering you have experienced in your life? It was mentioned that we often expect to live long and not suffer. Do you agree? Why do we think like this? 2. What are some examples of Jesus' suffering throughout His life and at the end of His life (for example, in Mark 15)? Why should it encourage us to consider that Jesus suffered in some of the same ways we suffer? What is a specific example of suffering in your life and how has Jesus experienced something similar? 3. What are some unhelpful or unhealthy responses to someone who is suffering? What are some biblical ways to respond to someone who is suffering? Why is it encouraging to consider that God enters into our broken world and suffers for us? How should this impact the way we think about suffering? 4. What aspects of the crucifixion from Mark 15 (or from the sermon) stand out to you? Explain. 5. One motivation for God sending His Son to die on the cross was to demonstrate His justice and righteousness (see Romans 3:25). Do you tend to think about God's justice as a motive for the cross? Why is it important we keep this in mind? What are some consequences if we don't? 6. The cross both humbles and encourages us at the same time. Do you currently need to be reminded to be humbled because of what your sin required at the cross? Or do you currently need to be encouraged by God's love and what He was willing to provide at the cross? Explain. 7. Imagine you are talking with someone who says he/she believes Jesus died, but this person doesn't believe it matters or makes any difference. How would you explain the meaning of the cross and why it is important in your life?Mission Highlight - The Aid Andhra in IndiaWith a population of over 350,000, the Adi Andhra are a marginalized people group in southern India, primarily speaking Telugu and practicing Hinduism. Though some have gained education and moved to cities, many still live in poverty as landless rural laborers. Less than 1% follow Christ, and few have heard the gospel in a way they can truly understand. While the full Bible and other ministry tools are available, access and outreach remain limited. They need sustainable resources, education, and most importantly, the hope of Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 09/14 23,974Giving For 09/21 35,518YTD Budget 415,385Giving 362,151 OVER/(UNDER) (53,234)Women's RetreatLadies, we are getting away for rest and encouragement October 24-26.

Who Should I Fear. Chris Scoz by Home Church

Discernment is a gift that few seem to have. It is also a stewardship. Without the Fear of the Lord, your discernment will not be clean. Being adamant or sloppy will not get you to the heart of the Lord. Discernment is truly a gift that must be treated as Holy unto the Lord.  When we are seeking knowledge or insight into a situation that is hidden, our own agenda or desires apart from God will not get us to the right conclusion. We should always be testing what we are hearing and holding ourselves accountable to God if we miss it. Having a pure heart that wants what God wants sets you on the path to seeing correctly.

I believe in Jesus Christ,His only Son, our Lord,Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin MaryHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. Luke 1:26-38 is usually thought of as a “Christmas text,” so we are talking about Christmas in September! When do you usually begin thinking about Christmas? 2. When you think about Jesus, what are some of the titles, images, or ideas that come to your mind? Where did you learn and develop your view of Jesus? 3. What are some ways we see Jesus' humanity in Luke 1:26-38? What are some other Bible passages that reveal Jesus' humanity? Why should we be encouraged by the fact that Jesus is a human like us? What impact should this make in your life today? 4. What are some ways we see Jesus is God in Luke 1:26-38? What are some other Bible passages that reveal Jesus is God? Why should we be encouraged by the fact that Jesus is God? What impact should this make in your life today? 5. How would you explain to someone the importance of the virgin birth? What are some key truths that are revealed in the virgin birth? 6. Mary responded to this incredible news by saying, “I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). In what area of your life is God calling you to be faithful? What would it look like for you to respond like Mary in your life? Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Sindhi of Belize The Sindhi in Belize are a small Muslim people group of about 6,800, originally from the Sindh region of Pakistan. While their homeland blends Islamic practice with folk traditions, the Sindhi in Belize are considered fully Muslim. There are currently no known followers of Christ among them. Though the complete Bible, Jesus Film, and audio resources exist in Sindhi, the gospel remains largely out of reach.

Do you have a choice whether to be a martyr or not? Most Christians tend to believe that there is no choice when it comes to being a martyr, that God is the one making the choice for us. But is that what the Bible tells us? Jesus made a choice to lay His life down. It was not taken from Him. We can't let the enemy talk us into laying down lives before our purpose is complete. 

We need to have an understanding of the difference between God's protection and becoming a martyr. Is it true that God protects at times, but at other times allows believers to be martyred? It is not that simple. As a believer, situations will arise that will try to take your life prematurely, but God always promises a way of escape. Being a martyr is a choice between you and heaven, but many do not know we have a choice. Jesus said, "No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily." God's promise of protection and deliverance stands. He does not want our life and purpose on this earth stolen. But when the time comes, and our purpose on earth has been completed, we have the choice to lay it down willingly. (Our apologies for the quality. This is an older recording from before we were releasing teaching online.)

Paul tells Timothy to “take hold of eternal life” (v. 12).• How can eternal life be something we take hold of now, not just something we receive later?• Look at John 17:3 and answer the question above again.3. Why does he warn so strongly about misplaced hope in riches (vv. 17–19)?• What subtle ways might we put our hope in wealth instead of God?• How can generosity and “being rich in good works” reorient our hearts?4.

Paul ends his letter with “Grace be with you.”• Why is grace the final word of Paul's pastoral instruction?• How does God's grace empower you to live out these commands—and where do you still struggle to rest in that grace?God designed the church to be a battleground for sound doctrine where people place their hope in God and not riches nd by this experience a taste of eternal life here and now.Pray for the Unreached: The Ad Dharma in IndiaThe Ad Dharmi are a marginalized community of over 1 million in northern India, primarily working in leather-related trades.

The Paradox of Fear. Chris Scoz by Home Church

Arrogance causes us not to ask God, even though it is God's nature to give. When we try to handle everything in our own ability and intellect, we close ourselves down from receiving. James 1 tells us to ask God for wisdom. God will never twist things on you, and He will give wisdom unconditionally if you ask. Our carnal mind demands to be in control, to know everything before we trust God to do anything outside of our comfort zone, but Proverbs tells us to "lean not on our own understanding." It's not our own, earthly understanding that will help us. Our wisdom has limits, but God's Spirit has none. Could it be there is no limitations with God but our ask?

How does understanding ancient, Jewish prayer transform the way we approach our own prayer life? In this thought-provoking discussion, the Voxology Podcast unpacks the profound communal and theological practices of Jewish prayer that shaped the teachings of Jesus and continue to challenge modern, individualistic approaches to Christianity. Join the hosts as they explore how prayer reflects our understanding of God, our faith, and the world around us, offering a deeper lens into themes of cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society. By examining the historical context of Jewish prayer practices, such as the Shema and the Amidah, the conversation dives into the rhythms of blessing, repentance, and trust that were central to the lives of early believers. Learn how these practices offer fresh insight into the Lord's Prayer and reshape how we navigate faith and cultural challenges today. Whether it's reimagining what it means to bless God or understanding prayer as a communal act of justice and restoration, this episode invites listeners into a richer theology of prayer that connects deeply with the teachings of Jesus. How does prayer influence your faith perspective? We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these topics together.
