   Be a Wedding Crasher (2025-11-02) Sermon

   Matthew 22:1-14 Pastor Willie Behrends Today we’ll see that God’s invitation to His Kingdom, (pictured as a wedding feast) is open to everyone; but only those who accept it and come ‘dressed’ correctly will stay! Here are three things about this particular feast… I – Some ___________________ the invitation! (1-7) II – The guest list gets pretty______________! (8-10) III – There’s a ___________ __________ to obey! (11-14) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… 1. “Have I been ________________ God’s invitation?” 2. “Have I ___________________ someone God has invited?” 3. “Am I relying on my _________ wedding garment?” This week’s Life Group Questions are on the back of this sheet → NEXT WEEK: Whose ‘Image’ Is On You? Matthew 22:15-22 Pastor Willie preaches from the English Standard Version Bible (ESV) ©2001 LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS… ‘Getting to know you…’ What’s the most memorable wedding you’ve ever attended, and what was it that made it memorable, (something funny, awkward, touching, etc.)? Read Matthew 22:1-14 (Questions based on the English Standard Version© (ESV) Bible, 2001) As you prepare for this week’s Life Group, 1-Carefully consider what this passage is saying (observation); 2-Ask, ‘who, what, when, where, why & how?’ (interpretation); 3-Consider what it means for us now (application). Questions… 1. Read verses 1-7. Who originally received the King’s invitation, and how did they respond? What are some ‘distractions’ or ‘excuses’ that can keep us from responding to God’s invitation (i.e., His call) in our own lives? 2. Read verses 8-10. After the first guests refused the invitation to the wedding feast, who did the King invite next? Have you ever been surprised by the kind of people God saves or uses? Can you give an example? 3. In verses 11-14, what do you think the ‘wedding garment’ represents in this parable? (See also Galatians 3:27, Isaiah 61:10 and Revelation 19:7-8) GROW… What spiritual disciplines, (such as prayer, worship, service, meditation, etc.) help you to ‘keep your wedding garment clean’; in other words, what helps you to maintain closeness and integrity with God? GO… The King told his servants to “Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find!” Who might that represent in Your World, and who might you not normally think to invite to the feast? Pray for each other as you go to Your Worlds this week.

   THe Stone that the Builders Rejected Mt 21:33-46 (2025-10-26) Sermon

   Matthew 21:33-46 Charlie Painter, Executive Director As Jesus continues to teach against the chief priests and Pharisees in the temple, He shares a parable about a master, his vineyard, and its tenants. I – They rejected the ________________________. (33-36) II – They rejected the ____________________. (37-41) III – ________________________________ rejects them. (42-46) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… 1. “Do I feel ___________ to what I have been entrusted with?” 2. “Do I claim any of ___________________________?” 3. “Am I ___________________________ for God or myself?” This week’s Life Group Questions are on the back of this sheet → NEXT WEEK: Be a Wedding Crasher! Matthew 22:1-22 Charlie preaches from the English Standard Version Bible (ESV) ©2001 LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS… ‘Getting to know you…’ What comes to mind when you hear the word “entitled?” Have you ever felt entitled to something? Read Matthew 21:33-46 (Questions based on the English Standard Version© (ESV) Bible, 2001) As you prepare for this week’s Life Group, 1-Carefully consider what this passage is saying (observation); 2-Ask, ‘who, what, when, where, why & how?’ (interpretation); 3-Consider what it means for us now (application). Questions… 1. Read verses 33-36. From your knowledge of the Old Testament, who were some of the prophets that were rejected by the people? 2. Read verses 37-41. Why would they think they would receive the heir’s inheritance by killing the son? Now consider the response of the crowd to this parable. Why do you think their outrage towards the actions of the tenants in the parable did not translate towards their own actions to God? 3. Read verses 42-46. Consider Jesus’ ministry on earth, how He was rejected and killed, yet became “The Cornerstone.” How does this help us define “success” in our Christian lives? GROW… What “vineyards” are you a tenant of? What fruit is God expecting you to produce for Him? GO… Read John 15:18-27. Why, considering this passage, is it so important that we be Empowered by the Holy Spirit as we Go to our Worlds? Pray for each other as you go to Your Worlds this week.

   Talk is Cheap - Fruit Isn't! (2025-10-19) Sermon

   Matthew 21:18–32 Pastor Willie Behrends We live in a culture full of talk. Everybody’s talking—online, at work, at church. We talk about what’s wrong with the world, what needs to change, what we believe, what we’ll do “one day.” But how often does all that talk actually turn into action? I – LOOKS ALONE CAN BE DECEIVING! (18-22) II – ASKING QUESTIONS WITHOUT SURRENDER! (23-27) III – ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! (28-32) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… 1. “Do I want to LOOK spiritual, or BE spiritual?” 2. “What excuses do I use to DELAY obedience to God?” 3. “Where do I need to REPENT and OBEY?” Willie preaches from the English Standard Version Bible (ESV) © 2001 October 19, 2025
