Bored and Boring – Week 5
Themes: What is your personal expectation of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? Should church/worship be fun? How can church/worship be enjoyable? What does “all in” really mean and look like?
Bored and Boring – Week 4
Themes: How do we worshipfully practice “love” and “judging”? Legalism. Rule following vs. genuine application of Scripture. When we acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, our thinking, behavior and speech should reflect Jesus’ teachings, principles and conduct.
Bored and Boring – Week 3
Themes: Contrasting the difference between a wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Music, dancing, food, beverages and people are key parts if a joyous reception.
Bored and Boring – Week 2
Themes: What elements of your wedding reception made you happy or brought you joy? What qualifies as a boring celebration? What excited or captivated you? What were you looking forward to?
Bored and Boring – Week 1
Themes: What does Jesus think about wedding receptions? It’s rarely something that Believers consider. Is the occasion something to get emotional about? Is it only a obligation or a cherished event?
Nothing to Fear – Week 19
Theme: What does Jesus expect me personally to be doing daily, weekly, monthly, period?
Nothing to Fear – Week 18
Themes: What does Jesus expect me personally to be doing daily, weekly, monthly, period? What I should do is too hard! It’s easy to live “mailed in” lives.
Nothing to Fear – Week 17
Themes: What does the Great Commission mean to me? How inspired am I concerning my passion/dedication to Jesus?
Nothing to Fear – Week 16
Themes: Modern-day Christianity has individual roles replaced by clergy: missionaries, evangelists, preachers and pastors. Telling people about Jesus in NOT my job!
Nothing to Fear – Week 15
Themes: Upon our glorification, believers will agree with Yahweh’s judgment decisions. Are we believers stumbling blocks or are we working to share/convince unbelievers that Jesus is Lord?
Nothing to Fear – Week 14
Themes: Yahweh has a purpose for our lives even though we may not now or ever know/act accordingly. Even when we DO know, believers struggle with participation.
Nothing to Fear – Week 13
Themes: Obedience to Jesus and the Scriptures can be and feel frustrating, lonely, inequitable and unfair. Understanding our culture and our community can teach believers what’s going on and how to possibly combat it.
