What do you do when your situation feels finished?
In this Easter message, “Not Done Yet,” we walk through Luke 24:1–12 and discover the powerful truth at the center of the resurrection: what looks like the end is often where God is just getting started. The women came to the tomb expecting defeat, but encountered life. The disciples struggled to believe, but began to move toward hope. And in the same way, many of us walk into moments in our lives feeling like something is over, our strength, our hope, our future. But Easter reminds us of this: Because Jesus is alive, we can be sure God’s not done yet. Whether you’re carrying doubt, disappointment, grief, or exhaustion, this message is an invitation to remember what God has said, trust what He has done, and take your next step toward Him.

Discussion Questions:

1. Have you ever experienced a moment where something looked “over,” but it wasn’t? What happened?
2. Where in your life right now does it feel like something is “done” or beyond hope?
3. The angels told the women to “remember what Jesus said.” What truth from God (Scripture, a promise, or something He’s spoken to you) do you need to remember in this season, and why has it been hard to hold onto?
4. Peter didn’t fully understand yet, but he still got up and moved toward the tomb. What is one step of faith you can take this week, even if you don’t have full clarity yet?

What does God actually give you in the wilderness? We all go through wilderness seasons: moments in life that feel scarce, isolating, and overwhelming. But what if the wilderness isn’t the end of your story? In this message, we close out our 6-week series “Finding Our Way Through the Wilderness” with one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: Jesus may not change the wilderness around you — but with Jesus, He can grow a garden within you.

Through the feeding of the 5,000 (Mark 6:30–44) and Jesus’ declaration as the Bread of Life (John 6:32–40), we discover that Jesus isn’t just a provider in the wilderness, He is the provision.

Discussion Questions:

1. What wilderness season are you currently in, or have recently walked through? How have you seen God meet you in it?

2. Jesus doesn’t just give bread. He is the bread. What’s the difference between looking to Jesus for what He can provide versus looking to Jesus as the provision itself? Which one describes where you are right now?

3. The sermon offered two choices: wander and return to Egypt, or trust the Good Shepherd daily. What does “returning to Egypt” look like for you specifically — what comfort or distraction do you run to when the wilderness gets hard?

4. The main point of the sermon was: “Jesus may not change the wilderness around you. But with Jesus, He can grow a garden within you.” Where have you already seen evidence of a garden growing in you — even if the wilderness hasn’t changed?

5. Sonny and Jenai shared their story while still in the middle of their wilderness. Who in your life is in a wilderness right now and needs to hear that the Good Shepherd hasn’t left them?

6. Next week is Easter, the ultimate proof that the wilderness is never the final word. Who is one person in your life who needs to hear that story? Commit to inviting them to Easter this week: send the text, make the call, extend the invitation. Don’t wait.

Have you ever had a moment where your expectations didn't match reality? Maybe in your health, your finances, your family or even your faith? You followed Jesus, you had the breakthrough moment, and then life said, "Actually… wilderness." In this message from Matthew 4:1–11, Pastor Chad will show us something that may change the way you see hard seasons: Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Through Jesus' three temptations of Provision, Protection, and Power, we'll unpack the real question underneath all of them: will you trust the Father, or will you take a shortcut? If you're in a wilderness season you didn't expect, this one's for you.

Discussion Questions:

1. Think of a time when life didn't go the way you expected in your family, your health, your career, or your faith. What did you expect, and what actually happened?

2. Matthew 4:1 says Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. How does it change the way you see a hard season when you consider that God might have led you there not to punish you, but to form you? What's the difference between testing and temptation in your own experience?

3. The sermon identified three areas Jesus was tempted: Provision, Protection, and Power, but underneath each one is the same question: "Will you trust the Father, or will you take a shortcut?" Which of the three resonates most with where you are right now, and what does the "shortcut" look like in that area of your life?

4. Jesus overcame the wilderness through abiding prayer, fasting, Scripture, and Spirit-empowerment. Which of those four is most underdeveloped in your life right now, and what would it look like to take one practical step toward it this week not to earn anything, but to train your trust?
