11.9.25 John 17 Jesus Prays for Us Gospel of John: Believe Speaker: Dr. Owen Nease, Lead Pastor

Formed in Cultural EngagementNovember 9, 2025 • Brad Raby • Romans 12:1–2, Daniel 1This Sunday, Brad Raby, Lead Pastor at Fellowship West, continued our fall series, More Like Him. Teaching on being formed in cultural engagement, Brad looks at Daniel's story to illustrate how God forms His people both in and for their cultural moment. Like Daniel and his friends in Babylon, believers today face a culture that subtly seeks to reshape identity, values, and loyalties—but spiritual formation in Christ enables resistance without fear or contempt. True resistance is rooted not in outrage but in devotion to God—living faithfully, practicing spiritual rhythms, and saying yes to God's presence again and again. Daniel's integrity, wisdom, and humility show that faithfulness and favor can coexist, influencing even hostile systems. Ultimately, Daniel points to Jesus—the greater exile—who entered our “Babylon,” embodying truth and grace, and now sends us into the world as people shaped by His Spirit for the good of our neighbors.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  November 9, 2025 Referenced Scripture:  Romans 5:3-5, Romans 8:15-35, Psalm 34:18, Hebrews 5:7-8, Hebrews 4:15-16   Reflection Questions:  1. How have you experienced pain and suffering in this life?  How have you seen suffering in the lives of people that you love?  Share some specific examples from your life.   2. What questions come to your heart and mind when you walk through pain and suffering?  What questions do you have about God when you are suffering?   3. How does suffering affect your view of God?  Do you experience Him as closer or further away?  Do you tend to move closer to Him or do you tend to move away?  Explain.   4. Read Romans 8:2828 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   In what ways have you seen pain and suffering either challenge or grow your faith?   How has suffering produced good things in your life?  How has it changed you for the better?  Share some specific examples.   5. How would you describe the biblical practice of lament?  Why do you think lament is so prominent in the psalms?  What does this tell us about the reality and normalcy of experiencing suffering?   6. What benefits can you see in praying laments to God?  How have you found praying lament helpful in your life?  What has been your experience?   7. Recall the illustration from the sermon of the hand in front of your face (circumstances/suffering):Why is it important to focus on the hand (name and acknowledge the reality of your suffering) and focus on the distance (God's character/promises/faithfulness and future redemption of all things)?   8. Read Psalm 22 (a psalm of lament)What parts focus on the pain/suffering of life (hand) and what parts focus on the faithfulness of God (distance)?  Why do you think it is important to identify and name both of those clearly when we are praying lament?    9. What is a situation of pain and suffering in your life right now?  Write a short psalm (prayer) of lament focusing both on the challenge and complaint as well as the character of God and your trust in Him...

Listen to a message from Ken Thompson, Lead Pastor of Bay Cities Fellowship on November 9, 2025.

We're blessed to hear from our Lead Pastor, Jeff Ellis, this morning as he brings us the first message in our new series about the beauty of giving, called "A Generous Life". In a world consumed by the pursuit of more, this message from Matthew 6:19–24 invites us to pause and examine where our hearts truly lie. Pastor Jeff unpacks how Jesus spoke often about money - not because He needed it, but because He knew how deeply it affects our hearts, priorities, and worship. This message challenges the grip of materialism, encourages us to see life through a lens of abundance and trust in God's provision, and offers a freeing perspective on generosity. It's a timely reminder that true treasure is eternal, and when our hearts are fixed on heaven, everything else comes into focus. #WalloonChurch #OneMore #Faith #Jesus
