Life is Messy
<p>What if the reason you feel stuck in your faith isn’t that you’re doing something wrong, but because you’ve been asking the wrong question? Through Jesus, you are already 100% in - fully loved and part of God’s family - but new doesn’t mean finished. Like a newborn, you belong completely, yet still have room to grow. Faith is a process, and it can be messy, with real tension between the old life and the new life God is leading you into. Often, we trust God with forgiveness but hesitate to trust Him with our relationships, time, or finances, and that’s where growth stalls. But what if the breakthrough isn’t about trying harder, but trusting deeper? Because every step of growth is really a step of trust, and we are all striving to live more like Christ in every area of our lives. So what is your next step?</p><p><br></p><p>2 Corinthians 5:17</p><p>17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.</p><p><br></p><p>Colossians 1:21–23</p><p>21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before Him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the Gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.</p><p><br></p><p>For Adult Homes and Groups</p><p>Take time to reread 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Colossians 1:21–23, then reflect on these questions:</p><p>1. Where did you place yourself on the spiritual growth line and why?</p><p>2. Where do you currently feel tension between your old life and your new life in Christ?</p><p>3. In what area of your life are you trusting God the least right now?</p><p>4. What is your next best step to continue growing in your faith?</p><p><br></p><p>For Families with Kids</p><p>1. Read Colossians Chapter 1 together, then focus on verses 21-23.</p><p>2. What does it mean to be “holy and blameless” because of Jesus, even when we make mistakes?</p><p>3. What are some things that make it hard to keep trusting Jesus (school, friends, worries)?</p><p>4. What is one “habit” (like praying together) we can start to help our family stay “steadfast” in faith?</p><p>5. Draw a tree on a large piece of paper. Have each family member write one way they will grow spiritually this week (e.g., read the Bible, pray, help someone) on a paper leaf, and tape it to the tree.</p>

Grace Greater Than Division
<p>We all feel it right now. Division seems to be everywhere. Conversations get tense, relationships feel strained, and even small disagreements can quickly turn into something bigger. But what if the church was meant to be different? This weekend, we’re diving into Galatians 3 to see how the Gospel gives us a deeper identity that cuts through division. We will explore what it really means to be in Christ, how God’s grace brings unity, and how that same grace drives out fear - fear of judgment, fear of rejection, even fear of one another. Come hear how being rooted in Christ changes the way we live, relate, and love in a divided world.</p><p><br></p><p>Galatians 3:26-29</p><p>26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.</p><p><br></p><p>For Adult Homes and Groups</p><p>1. What is something small you strongly disagree with others about that doesn’t really matter?</p><p>2. How has pride or identity in something other than Christ shaped the way you view others?</p><p>3. How does knowing your identity is secure in Christ change how you view yourself and others?</p><p>4. How can you practice staying present in a difficult conversation </p><p>this week?</p><p><br></p><p>For Families with Kids</p><p>1. Read Galatians 3:26-29 together.</p><p>2. In v26, how do we become children of God? Is it by being perfect, or by something else? When we disagree, does it help to remember that we are all loved children of the same Father?</p><p>3. From v27, what does it mean to “clothe yourselves with Christ”? If we are wearing Jesus like a coat, what should other people see when they look at us during an argument (e.g., love, patience, gentleness)?</p><p>4. Paul says there is “neither Jew nor Gentile... male nor female,” but we are all one. What are some things that make us feel different from each other (age, interests, personality)? How can God’s grace help us agree to disagree about small things (what to play, what to eat) while staying united in big things (loving God)?</p><p>5. Draw a picture of a bridge. When someone is angry or disagrees strongly, what are “bridge-building” words (grace, forgiveness, “let’s try this”) compared to “barrier-making” words (shouting, demanding, “no”)?</p>

Just Jesus
<p>We all come to God seeking something - a better marriage, help for a child, healing, provision, or answers. But what if the very thing that brings us to Him isn’t actually our greatest need? Again and again, Jesus shows us that He looks past what we think we need in order to give us what we truly need most. While we’re focused on immediate problems, He sees the deeper need underneath it all and moves to restore what matters most - our relationship with God. Join us this Sunday as we discover how Jesus meets us in our requests, but refuses to stop there, offering something greater than what we came asking for.</p><p><br></p><p>Mark 2:1-11</p><p><br></p><p>Jesus Heals a Paralytic</p><p>2 And when He returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that He was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And He was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” - He said to the paralytic - 11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”</p><p><br></p><p>For Adult Homes and Groups</p><p>Read Mark 2:1-11. As you read, discuss these questions:</p><p>1. What were the obvious needs and expectations of the paralytic and his friends? How did Jesus respond differently than they likely anticipated?</p><p>2. Why do you think Jesus chose to address the man’s need for forgiveness before healing his physical condition? What does this suggest about Jesus’ priorities?</p><p>3. Can you identify an area in your life where you are asking God for something specific, but He might be inviting you to trust Him for a deeper purpose?</p><p><br></p><p>For Families with Kids</p><p>1. Read Mark 2:1-11 together.</p><p>2. What did the man need healing from? Why did Jesus first forgive the man’s sins?</p><p>3. What did the friends expect Jesus to do first?</p><p>4. What is sin, and why is it a bigger problem than not being able to walk?</p><p>5. We often ask God for big things like healing or help with school. Do we ever forget to ask Him first for the most important thing (forgiveness)? How does it feel to know that Jesus cares about your “inside” (spiritual health) just as much as your “outside” (physical health)?</p><p>6. Heart wash activity: Draw a large heart on a paper towel using a permanent marker. Use washable markers to draw small spots or “yucky things” inside the heart. Each spot represents a “deeper need” or a sin </p><p>(e.g., being unkind, lying). Dip the paper towel into a bowl of water and gently agitate it. The washable marker spots will disappear, but the heart remains. Just like the man’s legs were healed on the outside, Jesus wanted to wash the man’s heart clean on the inside first.</p>
