Luke 14:12-24 "The Great Banquet Invitation" February 19, 2017

Hi Small Group Leaders and Facilitators!
I'm happy for you. Thank you for all you do to lead our people through these studies. You are making an incredible difference in their lives and I'm thankful for your time and energy!

This coming Sunday, we will be looking at part two of the dinner party we studied last week. Jesus was the guest of honor, but not so much because they loved him, but because they wanted to trap him. But now he turns the tables on them. This week he teaches the host on what is true generosity and instructs one guest on who will really be at the banquet table of God in Heaven.

The two themes this week are Generosity towards those who cannot repay you and receive the invitation to enter God's Kingdom. Please be praying for some to receive his invitation this Sunday!

God bless your weekend.

Here's your leaders guide and the participants guide.

Luke 14:1-11 "A Humble Wedding Guest" February 12, 2017

Good afternoon. Here's another discussion guide for the upcoming sermon on Luke 14:1-11. In this passage, Jesus is invited to another Sabbath lunch, which means trouble. In true Jesus fashion, he healed someone on the Sabbath and went on to tell a parable about the need to be humble in this life.

Here's a participation guide if you want to pass it to your group.

May God bless your group this week. Let me know if there is any way I can help you.

Blessings.

Luke 13:31-35 "What Do We Weep For?" 5 February 2017

Greetings everyone! Here's this weeks Small Group Discussion Guide for Ray's upcoming sermon. In this passage, Jesus gets threatened and told to leave the area for fear of his life. He holds tightly to God's timeline and plan for his life. Enjoy discussing this important passage.

Luke 13:22-30 "A Narrow Door" January 29, 2017

Here's another installment of our weekly Small Group discussion guides for this coming Sunday on Luke 13:22-30. In case you are wondering where Luke 13:18-21 went, Pastor Ray combined that in the last sermon.
Thanks for attending our small group leaders meeting last Sunday. It was great to have such wonderful participation.

God bless your week.

Luke 13:10-17 "Healing on the Sabbath" Sunday, January 22, 2017

Hi Leaders,
Here's the latest discussion guide for this coming Sunday on Luke 13:10-17. In this story, Jesus heals a lady who has been bound by Satan for 18 years. The synagogue ruler is upset, yells at the crowd, is rebuked by Jesus, and the people rejoice!  Jesus is in the business of bringing freedom and we must see that as part of our mission too.

Luke 13:1-9 The True Fruit of Repentance Sunday, January 15, 2017

Here's a small group discussion for this coming Sunday as Pastor Ray preaches on Luke 13:1-9.  It is a rare passage that is found only in Luke regarding current events of the day. We are introduced to Pilate, and are encouraged to repent and follow Jesus.
Have a wonderful time with your small groups.

Luke 12:49-59 A Sign Of The Times January 8, 2017

Hope you are enjoying 2017 so far. I know many of the small groups are not meeting now, but for those that are, I'll be posting small group questions as we continue through Luke.

Here's questions for this past Sunday.  If you didn't hear the sermon, you can find it on the app or online (webpage, FB, podcast).

Have a great week and I'm praying for you all. You are allstars!

Remember we have a small group leaders meeting Sunday, January 22 at noon. We'll have the small group winter kick off on Sunday, Feb 5 between services and after 2nd service.
