Pay Attention...It May Be God Speaking

Matt mentioned that he could not think of any instance in which God called someone to "sit back and relax while God goes to get us another soda."

In your study of Scripture, do you find this to be true?

Has God ever called you to something that made you feel uncomfortable or ill-equipped?

Are you struggling for clarity of God's call for your life now?

God speaks thru Holy Conversation & Holy Scripture

"All Scripture is God-breathed," it says in 2 Timothy 3:16. What does this mean to you? How has God given us the Scriptures?

How has God spoken to you through Scripture before?

How have you heard God's voice through another Christian?

Is this blog a way for God to speak to us?

An Imperfect Church

"Don't go around looking for the 'perfect church' because as soon as you find it, you'll mess it up!"

We are imperfect people and the church is an imperfect people. Nevertheless, we strive to glorify God and to be the loving people that God created us to be.

Matt challenged us on Sunday with the question, "What are you going to do to try to build yourself into a more perfect part of Christ's church?" How would you respond to this challenge?

Is it helpful or hurtful for you to know that the church (including you) is imperfect and will never be perfect?

Matt alluded to the story in Acts 5 of Ananias and Sapphira. What do you make of this story?

An Embodied Church

Each Christian is a part of the "Body" of Christ. How has the church hindered people from being a functioning part of the Body of Christ?

How has the church empowered you to be a functioning part of the Body of Christ?
