  • "Peace Be With You" - Sermon
    Apr 13 2025

    Read Matthew 21: 1-9.


    1. What is the significance of Holy Week, and how does it shape our

    understanding of Jesus' mission?


    2. How does the contrast between the Triumphal Entry and the Crucifixion

    demonstrate the unexpected nature of Jesus’ kingship?


    3. What does the phrase "With God, even when we’re down, we’re not out"

    mean in the context of Holy Week? How can we apply this to our personal

    lives?


    4. Romans 8: 28 reminds us that "in all things God works for the good of those

    who love him." How does this verse speak to the peace we receive through

    Christ?


    5. Jesus is described as the "Prince of Peace" in Isaiah 9: 6. How does this title

    contrast with the expectations of the people during His time?


    6. What is the significance of the crowd shouting, "Hosanna!" at Jesus’ entry

    into Jerusalem? What did they hope for, and how did their expectations

    shift?


    7. In what ways did the people of Jerusalem’s reaction to Jesus’ entry differ

    from their reaction when they shouted, "Crucify him!"?


    8. The sermon talks about choosing between "Jesus of Nazareth" and "Jesus

    Barabbas." How can we sometimes make similar choices in our own lives

    between the peace that Jesus offers and the false peace that the world

    offers?


    9. Why is it important that Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, was the ultimate

    sacrifice for our sins? How does this act bring us peace?


    10. In John 14: 27, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you."

    What does this peace look like in your life today, and how can you share it

    with others?


    Prayer for the Week:

    Heavenly Father, we thank You for the incredible gift of peace that we find in

    Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the events of Holy Week, we are humbled by the

    love and sacrifice that You demonstrated through Your Son. Help us to

    remember that, even in times of turmoil, Your peace is greater than all the chaos

    around us. Teach us to trust in Your plan, even when things don't go as we

    expect, and to find comfort in knowing that You are always working for our good.

    Lord, we ask that the peace of Christ would fill our hearts, minds, and lives. May

    we be instruments of peace in a world that desperately needs it. Help us to carry

    that peace to others and to live in a way that reflects Your love and grace. We

    offer this prayer in the name of Jesus, our Savior, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

  • "Living Hope" - Sermon
    Apr 20 2025

    Read 1 Peter 1: 3-5


    1. How did the theme of “Becoming a Little More Like Jesus” during Lent impact your

    personal walk with Christ? Which weekly key word resonated most with you and

    why?


    2. The sermon mentioned the phrase, “A lot can happen in seven days.” How does the

    transition from the despair of Good Friday to the joy of Easter Sunday help you

    understand the concept of “Living Hope”?


    3. Imagine being in Mary Magdalene’s shoes—what thoughts or emotions might you

    have experienced upon finding the empty tomb? How does her encounter with the

    risen Christ shape your understanding of hope?


    4. Pastor Mick said Easter is “proof that good overcomes evil...light overcomes

    darkness.” What personal experiences or moments have reminded you of this truth

    in your own life?


    5. The Message translation of the passage says, “we’ve been given a brand-new life

    and have everything to live for.” What does this “brand-new life” look like for you

    practically?


    6. The quote, “He didn’t wait for me to get it right. He died knowing I couldn’t, and

    loved me anyway,” was highlighted as a summary of the gospel. What does this

    reveal about the nature of God's mercy? How does that change how you see

    yourself? How does that change how you see others?


    7. If Jesus has done all the heavy lifting, why do you think our response of faith is still

    essential? What does “faith” look like in your day-to-day life?


    8. Have you ever fallen into the trap of trying to earn God’s love or approval, even after

    becoming a Christian? What helps you shift your mindset back to grace?


    9. The sermon introduced the “Romans Road to Salvation.” Which verse from that path

    speaks most deeply to you right now, and why? (Romans 3: 10, 3: 23, 5: 8, 6: 23,

    10: 9-10, 10: 13)


    10. “Living Hope” is not just for Easter Sunday—it’s for every day. What does it mean for

    you to carry that hope into your relationships, challenges, and daily routines?


    Prayer for the Week:

    Gracious and merciful God, we thank You for the gift of Living Hope through the

    resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the journey from the cross to the

    empty tomb, we are reminded that You meet us in our weakness with grace that never

    fails. Help us to live each day in the truth that we don’t have to earn Your love—you’ve

    already given it freely. Strengthen our faith to trust in Your promises, and guide us to

    walk in the new life You’ve made possible, sharing Your hope with a world still in need of

    Your marvelous light. May our hearts continue to become a little more like Jesus and a

    little less like ourselves, anchored always in Your love and mercy. We pray all of this in

    the name of our risen Savior and Lord, Jesus the Christ. Amen.
