The Lost & Found

Posted by / Outcast

Week 1

Text: Luke 15:1-31

Topic: Love, Grace

Main Idea: After hearing the religious leaders grumble about His attitude toward sinners, Jesus tells three parables that illustrate God’s extravagant love for the lost. This text teaches us that it doesn’t matter what we’ve done or how undeserving we feel; God is actively pursuing us to come back to Him.

Discussion Questions:

  1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
  2. How did Jesus’ attitude differ from the religious leaders’?
  3. What characteristics of God’s heart are being revealed here?
  4. Have you ever experienced God’s pursuing you? How did He do it?
  5. How did you go from being “lost” to being “found”? In other words, how did you become a Christian?

Mission Sunday 2017

Posted by / Mission Sunday

Text: Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 12:29-31, 2 Timothy 4:2

Topic: Service, Community, Discipleship, Missions

Our Mission:  We exist to raise, restore, and release others into a new life in Jesus Christ because human souls are the most valuable commodity in God’s economy.

Discussion Questions:

  1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
  2. What are the commands in these passages? What are the promises?
  3. Do you know anyone who doesn’t go to church or doesn’t know Jesus personally? What can you do right now to help them come one step closer to becoming a disciple?
  4. Someone reached out to you and showed you Jesus in order for you to become a believer. Who was it? What happened?
  5. People are watching our lives, looking for a reason to accept or reject the faith we claim as our own. Is there anything in your life—even if you think it’s hidden (it’s not)—that would cause someone who is on the fence to reject Christ?
