Living a Legacy of Hope November 26, 2017

Hi all, My computer is freaking out so I'll make this short. Here's the discussion questions for this week. Since it is advent, these are shortened with no "answers". I hope it helps. God bless.

Living A Legacy of Thanks November 19, 2017

Hi leaders,
This Sunday we are breaking away from Luke for the rest of the year and Pastor Ray will be starting a Legacy series. He'll start the series with Living a Legacy of Thanks.

Here's some very simple and generic questions to get us thinking about being thankful. Please feel free to use these questions or your own. These are not closely related to Pastor Ray's sermon. For those of you who do small group right after the sermon, feel free to take some notes, come up with your own questions and ask for reflections from his sermon.

God bless and I'll see you at the Thanksgiving feast. Please invite your small group to furnish a full meal, but invite everyone to bring something, even if it is for the potluck table. We'll eat from any and all tables!!!

I am thankful for all of you.

Luke 20:1-26 November 12, 2017

Hi leaders,
Sorry this is late this week and I hope you have time to digest it before your groups start. Pastor Ray skipped the end of Luke 19 because we taught on it earlier in the series. So now he is in Chapter 20. He will cover all the chapter, but my questions are only up to verse 26. I think that is enough to read and discuss.  It is all about Jesus authority as it is questioned by the religious leaders in Jerusalem. You can feel the tension build. I hope you enjoy learning together. Please let me know how I can pray for you all. If you have any specific requests for the prayer guide, please let me know.

Here's the Leaders Guide and the Participants Guide. 

This will be the last Sunday in Luke for the year as we will be starting our new series for the holidays next week.


Blessings.
Ethan

Luke 19:11-27 November 5, 2017

Hi leaders,
This Sunday Pastor Ray will preach on the parables of the Minas. Jesus says a lot in this parable about his kingship, but it will not happen as they expect by kicking out the Romans in the coming week and bringing Israel back to it's previous glory. Instead, Jesus will be gone and will eventually return. We live between verses 14-15. This parable tells us how to live between these two verses.

Pastor Ray will focus on how we live Monday-Friday. How do we serve God in our places of work? How do we serve him every minute of every day. 

Here's the leaders guide and participants guide.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way!

PS, if you haven't responded to my email about who is attending your small group, please do so soon.

Also, you are the first to know that on Sunday November 19, we will be having two worship services at the Sunkist campus. We asked Iglesia to move to Brea at 10:45 and the Brea campus will be worshiping with us in Anaheim at 10:45. We will have a child dedication in both services and a wonderful Thanksgiving Banquet following second service.
***We need each small group to prepare a Thanksgiving meal (as we have done in the past) and we'll have a large potluck table for those who are not in a small group. Each small gorup will be reimbursed for a turkey, ham, etc. If your group is large, you can be reimbursed for two turkeys, etc. It will be a highlight of the season. Please let me know if you have questions.
