Speaker: Pastor Andrew Burchett
In this message Pastor Andrew uses stories from his own life and talks about sharing the good news of Jesus with others. As we talk about Jesus’ approach with the woman at the well in John 4 and think about the power of Jesus to change our lives, we are inspired to share Jesus from the passion of our relationship with Him, instead of sharing with others as a duty to fulfill.

Message #6: “Discovering the Secret of Living an Empowered Life” Part 2
Michael Wadlow
In this message in this message we review Jn 14, and address that faith connects us to righteousness, and Michael proposes that all of the Kingdom flows through righteousness. We also address the fact that righteousness cannot be separated from Love, and that righteousness, love and justice are always together in the Kingdom of Heaven...Walking in love is righteousness and results in justice and restoration.
Life group questions:
1) Do you agree that Righteousness and Love cannot be separated in the Kingdom? How do we see this in the life of Jesus?
2) Is it true that we have become righteousness in Christ by faith? Tell us what that means for how you see yourself.
3) Can there be Righteousness and Love without Justice? or Righteousness and Justice without Love from Heavens' point of view?

Message #5: “Discovering the Secret of Living an Empowered Life” Part 1
Pastor Andrew Burchett
In this message we look at John 14:12, & Luke 9&10. Jesus sends his followers out healing others and hearing His voice. As we live out this Kingdom lifestyle our lives will reflect the economy of heaven and be so exciting!
Life group Questions:
1) Have you ever seen or experienced divine healing? Tell us about it…
2) What keeps you from praying for healing for people?
3) How has God revealed what He thinks or feels to you? (fleeting thought, metal picture, dreams, visions, etc.) How do you know it’s Him?
Leadership question … How do you seek God’s voice and leading in your position as a leader?

Message #3: “Discovering the Doing What the Father is Doing”
Pastor Andrew Burchett
In this message we look at John 5, where Jesus tells us that He only does what He sees His Father doing. The concept of imitation in following a Rabbi like Jesus or apprenticing under your father to learn the family business are illustrations of how we are to follow Jesus, watching to see where God is working and joining Him in His work.
Life Group Questions:
Are there some areas in your life where you clearly see God working? If so, how are you joining Him in that work?
What are some areas where you always know that it's God who is working? (i.e. someone seeking Jesus, a need that matches up with something you have to give away, a desperate situation that only God can fix, etc)
Who are you following who walks with Jesus? Who are you trying to imitate? (Paul: Follow me as a I follow Christ)
Leadership question: For those of us who have influence in other's lives: when you join God in the work He is doing, do you take others along with you? What does it look like practically to include others so they can learn this concept?

Message #3: “Discovering the Secret of Serving like Jesus”
Pastor Andrew Burchett
In this message we look at John 13, where Jesus models serving for us and commands us to do the same. The humility that is required for serving and receiving when others serve us is essential. As leaders we are challenged to walk in servant leadership.Lifegroup Questions:
1. It’s easy to think of small ways to serve others and put them first – what would be some “bigger” more sacrificial things you could do to serve others?
2. What does it look like to serve and bless your actual neighbors? Share some ways a serving posture has worked well on your block.
3. How do you do with receiving from others when they serve you? If this is difficult for you, share with the group what you think that makes receiving a challenge… (e.g. afraid you will owe them, it will turn into a long term commitment you can’t follow through on, etc)
Leadership Question: How practically do you live out servant leadership in your sphere of influence (job, role, parenting, etc)?
September 19, 2021 Series: Discovering the Mysteries of the Kingdom Message #2: “Discovering the Secret of Caring like Jesus”
Pastor Andrew Burchett
In this message we look at Matthew 9 and how Jesus moved toward those who were far from God instead of drawing back like the religious leaders of his day. We are challenged to put our compassion into action and be motivated by mercy and not judgment.
Life Group Questions:
1) Where are the best opportunities you have to love those who are far from God? (family, work, neighbors on your block, other?)
2) Have you looked at people without Jesus as those who are desperately fill a God shaped hole in their hearts as orphans before? Does that mindset shift your attitude toward loving them more?
3) What does it look like for those far from God to "belong before they believe?"
4) Andrew said, "The world isn't looking for a reflection of itself, it's looking for an alternative way to live." Do you agree with that statement? Why is that true or untrue?
