SUNDAY MESSAGES

Questions from the message:

• What “reasons” do you have to pray?
• Is your soul well?
• How is the soul of the Church?

Questions from the message:

• Am I walking in truth, or have I allowed myself to be swayed by false teaching or doctrine or personalities?
• Who, and what – exactly – am I listening to?  And is it the truth?
• Is it from the Word of God – or is it from somewhere and someone else?
• Is Jesus in my heart, or only in my head?

Questions from the Message:

• Where in your life do/have you ‘craved’ the world? What needs to change?  (“For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.” 1 John 2:16).
• Have you allowed ‘secondary’ sources to take precedence over your primary source – the Word of God? What do you need to do to rectify that to reset your ‘life’ routine to be regularly in the Word of God?
• Are you evaluating what you hear/watch/see with what you are reading in your Bible? Is it consistent with the Word of God or is it ‘not quite right?’
• Jesus came to give us ‘life to the full’ (John 10:10). Have you given your life totally over to Him? Whose ‘friend’ are you? In whose name do you ‘boast’ in? The world’s – or in the Name of the LORD?

Guest Speaker – Johnathon McPherson

Questions from the message:

1. Do you know that God loves you? How and where does that show in your life?
2. What is stopping you from loving yourself? What steps can you take to address that?
3. How can you celebrate your God-given uniqueness as you love your life?

Questions from the Message:

• How do you keep your ‘battery’ of love fully charged?
• How do you approach those who you find difficult to love? Do you try harder to love them or do you just ignore them?
• How will you – as you respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit – show love to someone this week and beyond?
• Do you need to make a conscious decision – maybe daily – to accept the grace and forgiveness of God, and then start loving yourself more? What does that look like?

John 20:13-31

QUESTIONS

Jesus is alive. Think about the event of Easter Sunday – the open tomb and the appearance of Jesus to Mary. What is your response to the risen Jesus?

Where and how do you find sustenance in Jesus?

Have you experienced the love of Jesus? Where and how does that play out in your life as you set yourself to the task of making the kingdom of the world into the kingdom of God?

Questions from the Message

John 19:13-34

As you reflect on the Cross, what do you feel?

Jesus urges us that the highest life – the best life – is one that is lived for others. (Matthew 16:25). What does your ‘best life’ look like?

Have you actually stopped and taken some time to simply and significantly thank Jesus for the Cross?

Questions from the message:

• Have you ever stopped and wondered about when we are not at the head of the table? (V5) What about when we aren’t the guest of honour?’
• Where, and when, do you feel God’s anointing?
• Count your blessings! Where are you being blessed and being a blessing to others?
