Let's take a minute and look at the year 2020 in hindsight. We all know it was hard, but was it all bad? Let's celebrate how God moved! Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: Twenty Twenty Speaker: John Pryor

As we celebrate the newborn Messiah, the crucified Christ, and the returning King, our worship must express—not replace—His love languages: obedience, justice, and holiness. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: John Pryor

The 40 days between Jesus's resurrection and ascension reveal His grace and patience—but also an intense sense of purpose. He still does all He can to empower His disciples to change the world. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: John Pryor

In God's concept of peace, we choose to unite around truths and relationships that matter more than anything we fight over; we also experience clarity and joy when we focus on Him and others. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: John Pryor

God tells His people very little but just enough about the future; we know all we need to know to make strategicy choices today. These include both speaking and living out the truth in love. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: John Pryor

God guides and provides when we trust and obey. That sounds a lot simpler and easier than it actually is, but we do experience this when we put all our hope in Christ and do whatever it takes to obey Him. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: John Pryor

As we begin this season of seeking God and blessing others, we
 will expect transformation. For 40 days, we will use all the spiritual disciplines make it easier for the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in us. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: 40 Speaker: David Pryor

The word Jesus used for “church” included a sense of responsibility and accountability to “outsiders.” We grow exponentially when we team up and relentlessly pursue HIS purposes together. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: Moving Out Speaker: John Pryor

God's dream has always been that we treat everyone with equal respect and kindness withing networks that provide for each other. Since the fall, His plan has included forgiveness, grace, and hope and help for real change. These are only possible when we see ourselves and others from God's perspective and working together to accomplish His purposes on earth. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Seri...

God makes us holy—He sets His people apart—for His specific purposes. We must create and restore justice wherever we are, not create spiritual bunkers and hide in them. What Jesus has in mind is a mindset: His followers are always fulfilling the Great Commission. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: Moving Out Speaker: John Pryor

Like Jesus, we must go where others are and love them as they are--then lead them into the kingdom they were created to help build. We must love each other enough to accept and forgive them as they are--AND to help them grow and reach their full potential. Together, we can create the kind of neighborhood everyone needs and longs for. Sermon Outline Life Group Questions Series: Moving Out Speaker:...

We don't have to follow all the "notes" others give us, but God's script should guide every part of our lives. We must stay open, humble, and courageous enough to keep asking honest questions and following wherever the truth leads--always learning and growing. Whether He's talking about personal salvation or holiness, evangelism, or anything else, Jesus expects us to start where we are and move ou...

We only experience supernatural levels of peace when we completely trust God and humbly practice justice and mercy in our daily lives with others. The peace we can each experience through Christ empowers us to be peacemakers--working together to create order out of chaos and live in a purpose-based unity the world can't imagine. Series: Peace That Passes Understanding Speaker: John Pryor Notes: Re...

Biblically speaking, peace is a side-effect of total trust in God and living life justly and fairly. Only Jesus can give us peace with God, but it's our choice to let peace rule over the other voices in our heads or not--to listen to our sinful nature or to the Holy Spirit in us. Jesus made it clear that we will face trouble in life, but He is with us. Series: Peace That Passes Understanding Speak...

As Christ's body, we must follow His example and relentlessly prepare to serve others, provide what others--especially the rest of the body--need, welcome new people into our family, and empower each other to serve. Since biblical hospitality is focused on those outside the body, we must collectively focus outward. Series: Authentic Faith: Be The Body Speaker: John Pryor Notes: Jesus prepared care...

One of God's core purposes has always been to set prisoners free. Another has always been to include His people in that process. He is willing to sacrifice or require just about anything for our spiritual, emotional, and relational freedom, and asks us to treat those in prison the way we would like others to treat us. When He says "visit" them, He means to show up and work to set them free . Serie...

God does everything from an eternal perspective. While physical sickness and health are not His first priorities, He expects Christ's body to relentlessly offer empathy, comfort, and healing to those who are spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically sick. Jesus set a perfect example for us to follow. Series: Authentic Faith: Be The Body Speaker: John Pryor Notes: Play your part, build...

One of the specific things God always wants Christ's Body to do is to meet tangible needs. This is even more important in times of crisis, and we need the whole Body to work together to be effective. What job will you use your gift to accomplish? Series: Authentic Faith: Be The Body Speaker: John Pryor Notes: Play your part. God designed us to work together. We must harmonize; each of us must play...

The Holy Spirit gives each of us gifts and expects each of us to use them. When we work together, the whole body gets stronger. When we don't, we get weaker. We must encourage one another and build each other up. Series: Authentic Faith: Be The Body Speaker: John Pryor Notes: We are the body of Christ. We were designed to work together—which is why the devil constantly tries to discourage, d...

Faith (which is trust-based action) extinguishes Satan's flaming arrows--even his three favorites: discouragement, disconnection, and division. God designed us to work together; we must each find the part He designed us to play and then use the gifts He gives us to accomplish His will. Series: Authentic Faith: Be The Body Speaker: John Pryor Notes: Faith extinguishes Satan's flaming arrows. Nothin...

All our choices affect us, those we love, and the world around us—and everything God's people do affects Him, His kingdom, and His reputation. We must make all our choices with eternity in mind. John uses an illustration of two cooking pots, a large one (God and timeless truth) and a smaller one (year 2020 and us) that fits inside the larger one. Series: Others First: Recalculating... Speake...

Some actions and attitudes deliberately oppose God and His will. Some distract us from His perfect will and cause damage even when we don't mean to rebel. Jesus wants to deliver everyone from evil. Series: OTHERS FIRST: RECALCULATING Speaker: John Pryor Notes: We must acknowledge evil. Evil is whatever opposes righteousness, justice, God's perfect plans, or God Himself. Evil questions everything t...
