Project 938 Small Groups Guide Sermon Based When Love Comes to Town: October 7, 2018 What stood out in the Bible about this week’s sermon? What stood out to you most about the sermon as a whole? What was the application of this week’s sermon for our church? What was the application of this week’s sermon for your personally? Community Question: Describe the biggest rivalry that you have had in your life? (examples: neighboring HS, The Dallas Cowboys, a competitor for the heart of a loved one, that family member who always takes your seat) Read Eph. 2:11-22 as a group and write down what you observe about the passage. Talk about initial observations/questions of the passage as a group and then transition into these questions. What is your preferred, natural method to get peace in a relationship? Do you prefer to take control and try to get people to see things your way? Or would you rather pretend there is not a problem at all? How does looking for peace through the lens of our relationship with Jesus change the way we think about it? How does it give us hope? What are the limits for what we can hope for? (see Romans 12:18) How can we have peace personally, when there isn’t peace relationally? The passage says that Jesus “preached peace” to those near and far. Paul gives us four examples of how we can demonstrate them. As a new humanity, how do we rehearse and demonstrate the peace Jesus offers? As new citizens, how do we honor the differences in our spiritual family without getting too distant from them to fear them? How does your Spiritual family expand your life as you get to know them? What would you say are the unique cultural dimensions of Project 938’s particular expression of the temple of God? What parts of our church most reflect God’s beauty? What parts continue to need God’s redemptive work? Who is someone that is different than you that you can reach out to get to know this week?
Deepak Chopra is wading into the political waters with his latest book, "Home: Where Everyone is Welcome," a collection of poems and songs inspired by American immigrants to provide "a stronger sense of welcome and belonging for everyone." The author, spiritual leader and businessman opens up in this conversation about his decision to engage in the national dialogue on politics in less strident, but more creative ways going forward. He says, "If you don't understand the context in which violence is born, you're never going to solve it." Like what we're doing?

Aired Wednesday, 8 November 2017, 8:00 PM ET Paul Avgerinos - Home: Where Everyone is Welcome In 1883, Emma Lazarus wrote the sonnet, “The New Colossus.” Her precious words are inscribed on a bronze plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty. The words read, “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” For many generations of Americans, these words were also inscribed in their hearts; recognizing that other than the indigenous people of this fair land, we are all the descendants of immigrants. Yet recently, there seems to be a memory lapse…a forgetting of how immigrants built this country with their sweat, toil, tears, blood and dreams and a rejection, based upon fear and ignorance, of the value of those who would come and join us in this purely American adventure. What can we do to restore the memories, eradicate the fear and inform those who have been misled about the seeds of greatness from foreign lands that blossomed and continue to flourish in this country. My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Paul Avgerinos, along Deepak Chopra and Kabir Sehgal, have collaborated on a beautiful collection of poems and songs inspired by American Immigrants called, “Home: Where Everyone is Welcome.” Paul is a first generation American, whose father Costas emigrated from Greece to the U.S. in 1938. Paul is a Grammy wining artist, composer, producer and engineer with 23 critically acclaimed New Age Albums to his credit. He is active in creating scores for a variety of television shows. He is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University and runs Studio Unicorn. Kabir Sehgal is also a first generation American and his parents are both from India. He is a New York Times and Wallstreet Journal Best Selling Author of eight books such as Coined and Jazzocracy. He ia a multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy Award Winning producer. He is a US Navy Veteran and works in Corporate Strategy at First Data Corporation in New York City. Deepak Chopra needs little introduction. He was an immigrant from India who moved to the U.S. in 1970 and became a citizen in 1984. He is a world renowned pioneer in inte-grative medicine, founder of the Chopra Center, author, lecturer and music composer. Time Magazine labelled him one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.
Our guest today is probably the best guest I could think of to have on a day like this. It is the one and only Dr. Deepak Chopra. He’s the founder of the Chopra Foundation and co-founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. He is a world renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation, a prominent figure in the new age movement. He’s written multiple books. Dr. Chopra is also one of the best known and wealthiest figures in alternative medicine. So, how did I get this interview? My friend Kabir emails me and asks, "Do you want to meet Deepak Chopra in New York City at his book launch?" Of course, I immediately cleared my schedule and emailed him back, "YES!" Sidenote: I can’t remember how many exclamation points. Then, Kabir replied to me and said, “Do you want to interview him for your podcast while you’re here?” At that point, I nearly choked on my bagel. You might be wondering: who is Kabir? How is he such a super power? Kabir Segal is a friend and friend of the show. He is the bestselling author of Coined: The Rich Life Of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us. He was on So Money talking about that book as well as his own money journey on episode 73. As it turns out, he's friends with Deepak Chopra. Most recently, he, Deepak and Paul Avgerinos released a new book called, Home: Where Everyone is Welcome: Poems and Songs Inspired by American Immigrants. It’s a collection of about 34 poems, 12 songs, all inspired by a diverse group of immigrants who’ve made significant contributions to this country. The poems symbolize the many roads that lead to America and which we expect will continue to converge to build the highways to our future. So, that's what has prompted this meeting between myself and Deepak and hundreds of other people who came to this event. It was a magnificent event. Before it happened, I got the chance to sit down in Deepak’s office, which is at ABC Carpet in New York and it was very surreal. We talked about the way you wear money, the way that you spend it and how it reflects your inner most values. We also talk about the guilt that we sometimes feel around making money and how that can lead to poverty consciousness a To learn more about Dr. Deepak Chopra visit www.deepakchopra.com or follow him on Twitter @DeepakChopra.
