Picking up the Towel

The Love Revolution is going awesome and I'm amazed at the incredible people I have the privilege to serve and pastor...Triumph folks are the best!  

This past Sunday, we talked about the immensity of God's love and the way Jesus showed it to the fullest - by serving.  We were challenged to "pick up the towel" and serve those around us. The presence of the Lord was powerful and hundreds responded to the call to serve others, in fact, we had 77 brand new people sign up to serve in specific ministries within the church.  Praise God!

Here are the sermon-based questions for this week to use in your personal devotional time and discuss in your small group this Wednesday...

1.   How do the words of Paul “..the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with the love of God” stir your affections for Christ? (i.e. racial boundaries, gender boundaries, stereotypical judgment, etc.)

2.   How does fatherhood change our perceptions of God as a Father? Are there areas in your lives that create personal strongholds in relation to Christ?

3.   Are there other cultural/personal things that shape our acceptance of a loving God? (i.e. media, fast-paced life, western culture, sexuality)

4.   Do you struggle with “doing the right things” because its expected? Are your good deeds a direct result of the love of God or are they religious, ritualistic morality?

5.   Since we agree that the love of God prompts action in the lives of believers, how can we better serve our brothers and sisters inside the church? Is this an area that is often neglected? Why or why not?

6.   How can we better serve those outside of the church? Is this an area that is often neglected? Why or why not?

See you this week!
