THanksgiving - Bread of Life

10/13/2019

 

John 6:25-35 (Click to Read)
Preacher:  Debbie Collicott

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (taken from the Serendipity Bible):

  • What type of bread are you today: All natural? Rye? Mouldy? Multi-grain? Crusty? Fresh? Easy to butter up?
  • Why are the crowds still searching for Jesus (vv. 24-26)?
  • How does Jesus’ response to their question show the difference between his interests and theirs?
  • How are they to work for the food that leads to eternal life (v. 29)?
  • What does the crowd ask Jesus to do in order that they can believe? What is their real interest?
  • What are the similarities and differences between manna (Ex. 16) and the “bread of life” (v. 35)?
  • What is the main reason you follow Jesus? 8. How would you describe your daily spiritual diet: Junk food? Frozen food? Baby food? Microwave food? Leftovers? Pure bread and wine?
  • Has your familiarity with Jesus (from Sunday School, church etc.) ever kept you from seeing who he really is? What can remove the blinders?
  • If someone asked you “How do you hunger and thirst after God?” what counsel would you give?

Living Faithfully

7/23/2019

 

Matthew 5:27-37 (Click to Read)
PREACHER: JOHN PAUL WESTIN​

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (Matthew 5: 27-37) taken from the Serendipity Bible:
  • How does Jesus apply a new standard to the commandment about adultery?
  • What is Jesus’ point in using such exaggerated language (vv. 29, 30)?
  • What is the heart of the matter regarding oats? Why is keeping promises so important?
  • Which of these moral demands - controlling lust, honouring marriage, keeping your word - challenges you the most?
  • If these standards are like a prescription for us to take, where is hope here for us?
  • How does all this relate to the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10)? 

Group Life Beyond Belief

4/29/2019

 

John 20:19-31 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Debbie Collicott

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (John 20:19-31) taken from the Serendipity Bible: 
  • Why are the disciples fearful now?
  • Of all the things Jesus must have said, why does John record “peace be with you” three times (vv. 19,21,26)? How does this relate to their fears? To their being sent?
  • How does Thomas’ personality compare to Mary’s (v. 13)? To the other disciples (vv. 9,19)?
  • How does Jesus deal with Thomas’ doubt (v. 29)? What is significant about the way Thomas responds? How did your first confession of Christ’s lordship sound?
  • What is the author’s purpose in writing this gospel (vv. 30-31; 21:24-25)?
  • Where could you use Jesus’ peace right now: In some relationship? In some inner fear? In your work?

True Vines and Vineyards

4/29/2018

 

John 15:1-8
​Preacher:  Debbie Collicott

Take out your Bible and look up the scripture. Over the next week we invite you to sit down (by yourself or even better) with your small group, a friend, family member or soul-mate, and (think about) discuss the following questions:
  1. What plant best describes you now: Towering oak? Weeping willow? Tumbleweed? Crab apple tree? Explain.
  2. If the vine branches were human lives, what pain would be associated with pruning? What tools? What fruit?
  3. Jesus repeats “remain in me, love and bear fruit”. How are these words related? What is “the fruit that will last” (v. 16)?
  4. How do verses 9 & 12 hold together? How is love the essential dynamic of the Christian life?
