SUNDAY MESSAGES

Questions from the message:

1. How does my temperament affect how I express kindness and gentleness and where do I need to work in areas of my life to improve that?
2. Who are the people in my life who I need to be kinder and gentler to?
3. Am I allowing Jesus to do the ‘power steering’ in my life? Am I being responsive to His ‘steering?’
4. How can you ask Jesus this week to release the wonderful fruit of kindness and gentleness within and through the unique person He has made you to be?

Questions from the Message:

1. Is this area of ‘sacrificial living’ that calls for love and goodness a challenge for you at times? 
2. Do you have a problem with a lack of love? Do you find it difficult to practice a spirit of goodwill toward others?
3. Can you picture someone – right now – who continues to love you – even when – you’re unlovely? How can you take their example and incorporate it into your own life? 
4. Do I exude ‘goodness’ to everyone I encounter in my Christian life?

Questions from the Message:

1. What times in your life when you felt most connected to God? How have you maintained that connection?
2. Am I in a journey of discipleship where I continually crave the Word of God and be satisfied by it at least as much, and preferably more than I am by other things in my life? 
3. How do you typically connect with God?
4. Have you ever tried practicing a spiritual discipline? What was it? How did you go?
5. Which spiritual discipline/s can you commit to practising this day/week/ month?

Questions from the message:

1. What image of salvation in Scripture is most meaningful for you? (e.g. being adopted, forgiven, redeemed, saved, or reconciled.) Why?
2. What are the clues that reveal whether your actions are gospel-motivated or selfishly motivated? Have there been times in your life when you’ve been doing the right things with the wrong attitude?
3. Where are the places other than Jesus that you might tend to base your identity on?
4. How does the gospel, through your daily journey of discipleship, help you when you realise that you are placing your worth in something, or someone, other than Jesus?

Questions from the message:

1. Think of a time or times in your life when you have grown as a Disciple of Jesus.  What were you doing then, that you could be doing now – both in your own life and in the discipling of others?
2. How can you be more intentional in putting your knowledge into action in the relationships you have in your life?
3. What does ‘giving up your own way’ (Luke 9:23) look like for you?
4. What does that look like? What does following Jesus look like for you?

Questions from today’s message:

1. Being a disciple of Jesus Christ means committing to a life-long journey of Discipleship – that is, not only personally growing to become more and more like Jesus, but also in the discipleship of others to do the same? What does that look like for You? Who are you discipling?
2. Whom do you believe Jesus might be calling you to walk with in discipleship?
3. Do you need help in identifying someone who can help you in your own journey of discipleship?
4. Which ‘little pig’ are you? Are you one more than the other? A little bit of all?
5. If you are not in a discipleship relationship with someone, what is stopping you?
