  AMA: When the Church Goes AWOL- Week 1 / Pastor Jeff Struecker

  Aug 17, 202638 min

  Big Idea: We’re different by design—God has one mission for every one of His children. I. Jesus sent ALL- not some. Luke 10:1-3 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. II. We all have a gift and/or gifts. Ephesians 4:12 …to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ… III. God equipped each of us for the work. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different activities, but the same God works all of them in each person. A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good. Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today. Become: I surrender my life to God’s mission again today. Be Sent: I will serve like Jesus this week. Discussion Questions: Is surrendering your life to Jesus a “one and done” moment in time? Explain your answer using Scripture. What does it mean practically to surrender your life to the mission of God? In your own life, what areas feel easiest to surrender, and which feel difficult? In what ways can someone appear “successful” by society’s standards while being totally ineffective at building the kingdom of God? Can someone pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,” and not be willing to lift a finger to see that prayer fulfilled? Has there been a time when you became aware of someone who needed to hear about the love of God lately? Pray for God to put his heart for other people in your heart this week.

  YOLO: 3 deep roots hold stronger than 300 branches. / Pastor Jeff Struecker

  Aug 10, 202634 min

  Big Idea: 3 deep roots hold stronger than 300 branches. I. Go deeper than virtual. Acts 2:44-46 Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts… II. Go deep with only a few. Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching. III. Go deeper with Jesus. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous; don’t be terrified or afraid of them. For the Lord your God is the one who will go with you; he will not leave you or abandon you.” Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today. Become: I will join a small group this week. Be Sent: I will invite someone into my group this week. Discussion Questions: What makes people hesitant to open their hearts to others? What makes meeting in a small group different from being in a social media relationship? What does it look like to “provoke love” in someone else? How has God grown you through your relationships with others? What are some obstacles that prevent real depth in small groups? Is it possible to grow into the follower Jesus wants you to be while living as a hermit? Explain your answer from Scripture. Pray for someone who is isolated from Jesus’s people this week.

  YOLO: Some trauma can only be healed by nail-scarred hands. / Pastor Jeff Struecker

  Aug 3, 202634 min

  Big Idea: Some trauma can only be healed by nail-scarred hands. I. Jesus is close. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit. II. Jesus comforts. Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. III. Jesus gives courage. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to change my heart today. Become: I need Jesus to help me heal this week. Be Sent: I will help someone hurting this week. Discussion Questions: What support would you recommend for someone who is stuck in trauma? (List all the options you’d recommend.) Can you move past trauma without ever sharing it with anyone? Explain your answer. Why is it sometimes hard to trust Jesus with your trauma? Has trauma changed you? If so, has it changed you for better or worse? Who do you know who is stuck in past trauma? Can you share a testimony about how Jesus helped you through trauma? Pray for the opportunity to share that testimony this week.

  YOLO: Sin makes all relationships unhealthy. / Pastor Jeff Struecker

  Jul 27, 202636 min

  Big Idea: Sin makes all relationships unhealthy. Romans 12:18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. I. Show grace to people who are far from Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” II. Seek help when people hurt you. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ. III. Separate when people are living a lie. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 But actually, I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you. Next Steps: Believe: I need to begin a relationship with Jesus today. Become: I will reflect Jesus’ way of life in my relationships this week. Be Sent: I will start a gospel relationship this week. Discussion Questions: How do you know when a relationship has become unhealthy? Which is more dangerous for you right now, emotionally or spiritually unhealthy relationships? Are you more patient with Christians or people outside the faith? Explain. Why doesn’t the Bible give us permission to break off all hurtful relationships? When was the last time you broke off a relationship with someone who was living a lie? How did it go? Who are you developing a Gospel relationship with? Pray for the wisdom to develop Christlike relationships this week.

  YOLO: I don’t need more competence or confidence- God’s presence is enough. / Pastor Jeff Struecker

  Jul 20, 202636 min

  Big Idea: I don’t need more competence or confidence- God’s presence is enough. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment. I. Let sound judgment guide your decisions Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight. II. Let Jesus’s power back up your abilities Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. III. Let God’s love define your worth 1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today. Become: I will let only Jesus’s sacrifice define my worth this week. Be Sent: I will proclaim Jesus’s praises this week. Discussion Questions: When was the last big decision you struggled with? How certain were you that you got it right? When was the last big challenge you overcame? Did you give God credit? When did you last fail a big challenge? How did it affect your self-worth? What is consistently trying to define your self-worth this week? Where do you need God’s power most this week? How confident are you in sharing your faith? Pray for God to use you to call someone out of darkness this week.
