Reflection Questions:
1. Mission Statement:  Together, we lead people in becoming All In followers of Jesus. — Do you believe that an ALL IN follower of Jesus must live out their faith TOGETHER with other believers?  Why or why not?

2. Read John 13:34-35 — How would you describe the way Jesus has loved us?  What adjectives would you use?  How is it even possible for us to love other people in that same way?

3. Jesus said the defining characteristic of an ALL IN follower is seen in our love for one another.    How would you evaluate your love for other followers?  How would you evaluate other followers' love for you?

4. Can we love Jesus while at the same time not be actively loving His church (other followers)?  Why or why not?

5. What makes it difficult for you to love other followers this way?  What barriers do you need to overcome?  What are some practical ways you could seek to overcome those barriers?

6. For us to be known and loved (and to love and know others) requires vulnerability.  What makes vulnerability difficult for people?  Difficult for you? How can we create environments that foster greater vulnerability?

7. Shame →  Shame isn’t just feeling bad about yourself; it’s a deep fear that you are unloveable; that if people knew who you really were, they would reject you.

8. How can shame create a barrier to authentic loving relationships?  How can we overcome shame?  How can we help others overcome shame?

9. How might Sunday Gatherings be different if everyone showed up with a mindset to know and love other people?  What is something practical you can do this week to approach our gatherings differently?

10. How could your small group grow in the ability to know and love one another?

ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Together

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  February 1, 2026
 
Referenced Scripture: 
Matthew 11:28-30, Ezekiel 36:25-28, John 16:7, Romans 8:10-11, Galatians 3:2-3, Galatians 5:25
 
Reflection Questions:
1. When you realize that the invitation to follow Jesus means we actually are expected to become like Him, how do you respond to that idea?  Why can that thought be overwhelming?  Does this seem impossible?  Why or why not?
 
2. Read Matthew 11:28-30
What were the two uses of the word “yoke” that Jesus is referring to here?  Describe the imagery of being “yoked” to Jesus like two oxen?  How does that imagery help us understand how we are to walk our life with Jesus?  How does this help us to become like Jesus?
 
3. If we are weary and burdened in our life, what does that say to us about our walk with Jesus and our connection to Him?  How can Jesus actually make our yoke easy and our burden light?  Does that mean that everything in life will be easy and light?  Why or why not?
 
4. True life in Jesus is found when we surrender our lives fully to Him.  What does it mean to surrender fully to Jesus?  Why can that word be difficult for us to deal with?  What makes actually surrendering difficult for you?
 
5. How does surrendering to Jesus actually bring freedom and life to our souls?  Explain.   What things in this life can we become free of through surrendering?  Explain.
 
6. The opposite of surrender is control?  How can trying to control everything in life be exhausting?  (making us weary and burdened)
 
7. Reflect on the illustration from the sermon of the clenched fist vs the open palm.  What did that experience show you?  Where in your life do you need to unclench your fist and open your hands?
 
8. Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. 
What wisdom do you see in this simple prayer?  How could this be helpful in your learning to surrender?
 
9. Describe Spiritual breathing…
What is exhaling?  →  why is confession of sin important?
What is inhaling?  →  how can we tangibly give control to the Spirit?
 
10. If peace in your soul is evidence of a surrendered life…
How surrendered is your life today on a scale 1-10?  Explain.
If anxiety in your soul is evidence of a need to surrender…
How anxious is your life today on a scale 1-10?  Explain.
 
11. Where do you need to surrender control in your life to Jesus today?
 
What’s your next step?

ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: Like Jesus or Becoming Like Jesus

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  January 18, 2026
 
Referenced Scripture: 

Luke 9:23-24, Ephesians 5:25, Mark 1:14-15, James 2:18-19, Revelation 2:1-5 
 
Reflection Questions:

Luke 9:23
Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 

1) Whoever
What were the requirements and pre-qualifications to be a follower of Jesus?  Give some examples.What does that say about God that the bar to entry from a cultural perspective was really low?  
What thoughts might you have had in observing who Jesus chose to be his closest followers?  Explain.
 
2) Wants to be my disciple
“Wants” implies it is a choice that we make to follow Jesus or not. Why do you think Jesus would give us a choice and not demand that we love and follow Him?  Can love be forced?  Explain.

1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us. 

3) Must deny themselves
What do you think Jesus meant by this?  What does this NOT mean? Explain.
What has it cost you to follow Jesus?  Why is it important to know up front that following Jesus can and will be costly?
Is there an area of your life that you find difficult to surrender to Jesus (or an area you find it difficult to follow)? Explain, why? 

4) Take up their cross daily and follow me.
What did the symbol of the cross mean to a first century person? How is that different from how we view the symbol?Why does that appear to be a “bad marketing” strategy by Jesus? What do you think he was trying to be clear about?How have you experienced humility, suffering, and death as a follower of Jesus?Do you ever experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) because you are a follower of Jesus?  Explain.

Luke 9:24
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
5) Explain what Jesus is promising in this statement.  Have you experienced the reality of this promise?  Why or why not?
6) How do you need to take up your cross TODAY in order to follow Jesus?  Why do we need to do this DAILY?
7) What do we do if our heart grows cold, hard, tired, or apathetic?
 
Read Revelation 2:1-5
8) Why is repentance always the answer when we are off track in following Jesus?
9) Being an ALL IN follower of Jesus is about DIRECTION and NOT PERFECTION.What does that statement mean?  Agree or disagree?  Why?

ALL-IN Followers of Jesus: The Invitation is the Definition

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor | January 11, 2026
 
Referenced Scripture: 
John 6:60-69,  Mark 10:17-22, Ephesians 4:1-3, Matthew 7:21-23
 
Reflection Questions:
1. Describe your current relationship with Jesus. DTR (Define The Relationship)What adjectives would you use to describe your connection to Him right now?  Is it growing closer, getting more distant, or staying the same?  Explain.

2. What is the difference between being a fan of Jesus and being a follower of Jesus?  What characteristics would you use to describe each of these kinds of people?  Where do you see yourself currently?

3. In the life of Jesus (gospels), how does Jesus describe what it means to be a follower of Him?  How does Jesus make this definition clear in his teachings and invitations to follow him?

4. Read Mark 10:17-31 (Rich Young Ruler)What are some observations you can make about following Jesus from this story?  How does Jesus separate fans from followers in this story?  Can you relate to the response of the rich young ruler?  Why or why not?

5. In the sermon we talked about identity based spiritual transformation.  
Identity           →  Process          → Outcome (fruit)
(who we are)  →  (what we do)  →  (what we get)  
Why is it critical to start with identity as we approach the pursuit of spiritual transformation?  What is the cost/problem with focusing on outcomes first rather than focusing on our identity?How would your life be different if your core identity was being a follower of Jesus?  How would it shape your habits/disciplines and the outcomes of your life?

6. Read Matthew 7:21-23How is it possible for someone to think they are a follower of Jesus and not actually have a relationship with Him?What thoughts or questions come to your mind when you read this passage?  Why does this passage make it so important for us to really answer the question, “Am I a follower of Jesus?” (as Jesus defines follower)How does Jesus define a true follower of Him?

7. If you had a DTR (define the relationship) with Jesus what do you think you would say?  What do you think He would say?

2. Proclamation: We Speak Out (11:26)
3. Fellowship: We Look Around (10:16).
4. Self-Examination: We Look Within (11:27-28)
5. Thanksgiving: We Look Up (11:24)
6. Expectation: We Look Forward (11:26 & Matthew 26:29).

Referenced Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-28, Matthew 26:29

Reflection Questions:
1. As the New Year begins, what’s one tradition, habit, or routine that reminds you of what’s most important in your life?

2. Read 1 Corinthians 11:17–28 aloud together. Which words or phrases stand out to you as you hear this passage? Why do you think Jesus specifically commands his followers to remember him?\

3. Why do you think Christians are prone to spiritual forgetfulness, even when we genuinely believe the gospel?

4. How does the Lord’s Supper help address guilt, fear, or spiritual weariness?

5. In what ways does communion remind us that faith is not only personal but communal?

6. Paul encourages believers to examine themselves before participating. What does healthy self-examination look like, and what does it not look like?

6. How does the promise of Christ’s return shape how we understand and experience the Lord’s Supper today?

8. When you receive the Lord’s Supper, which aspect do you tend to focus on most: the past (what Christ has done), the present (your relationship with God and others), or the future (Christ’s return)?

9. What might change if you approached communion more intentionally as an act of remembrance and hope rather than routine?

10. Close your time by thanking God for the gift of the Lord’s Supper and asking him to deepen your gratitude, unity, and hope as you remember Christ’s sacrifice and await his return.
