Almost all the Kingdom stories communicate purpose and responsibility: work gets done, resources are shared, lost things are found, investments yield returns, and living things produce fruit. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Speaker: John Pryor Series: Stories Like That

The Kingdom of Heaven is designed to keep growing and seeking and restoring anyone who wanders away. Jesus Himself is the ultimate example of this, but He asks all of us to play our part and CRAM Worldwide plays their part well. Here to speak is their Director of Communications, Ky Schreiber, for an update on this organization's impact on the world. Guest Speaker: Ky Schreiber Series: Stories Like...

The King of Heaven is far too kind to give us what we truly deserve; instead, He gives us grace, love, and purpose—and expects us to pass these blessings along, working together as His team.

In the Kingdom of Heaven, old divisions become irrelevant. Enemies become friends, friends become family, and family becomes a team that lives, worships, and serves together—no matter the cost.

In the final chapters of Judges, there are no clear leaders. Right and wrong are such distant memories that unspeakable horrors are accepted and even their attempts at seeking God are chaotic and hypocritical. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: No More Kings Speaker: John Pryor

Samson's life demonstrates how sins of omission (not doing what we need to do) and sins of commission (doing what we should not do) can not only prevent us from accomplishing much but totally destroy our lives. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: No More Kings Speaker: John Pryor

Jepthah desperately prays for God's help, hoping to defeat the Ammonites and become Israel's leader. He doesn't know God at all, and his guesses about God's character and what is “right” cost him dearly. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: No More Kings Speaker: David Pryor

Barak was willing to do God's will—if someone came with him. Deborah was willing to do the right thing, and Jael was willing to do whatever it took to eliminate the enemy that was oppressing her people. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: No More Kings Speaker: John Pryor

With some help from Othniel (the first judge), Caleb claims the land God promised him from the legendary giants that scared Israel off 45 years earlier. With God's help, he and his family do “the impossible.” Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: No More Kings Speaker: John Pryor

Joshua took most of the Promised Land as a direct act of obedience to God. One generation away, they still see themselves as the rightful owners of their “God-given” land, but that's just their excuse for selfishness. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Speaker: John Pryor Series: No More Kings

Jesus restored our shattered relationship with God and gave us all we need to restore and grow human relationships on a personal, small group, big group, and worldwide level. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Speaker: John Pryor Series: LOVE/LIFe

Jesus always made a tangible difference in people's lives, and He showed us a love that did even more than it said it would do. The point was LOVE, not self-denial; He accepted and encouraged extravagant displays of love. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Speaker: John Pryor Series: LOVE/LIFE

Jesus created memorable scenes, stories, and sacraments that connected and kept reminding people about the truths He had shared with them and the real, ongoing change He had helped them embrace. He taught us to methodically work love into our daily, weekly, and annual rhythms. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Speaker: Billy Clark Series: LOVE/LIFE

Jesus broke traditions, crossed barriers, and risked His own reputation and life to heal outsiders and help others reboot their lives. He served even when He needed rest and comfort Himself. To Him, Life = Showing Love. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: LOVE/LIFE Speaker: John Pryor

Jesus's message rebooted the whole Old Testament with a message of rebirth and real change. His example showed us how to put God and others first—not as a list of rules, but as a heart-and-soul lifestyle of love. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: LOVE/LIFE Speaker: John Pryor
