Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | October 19, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:17-21, John 6:66-69, 2 Corinthians 4:17 Reflection Questions: 1. When have you faced a difficult situation that ultimately proved to be “worth it”? 2. Read Romans 8:17-21 aloud together. According to verse 17, what does it mean to be an “heir of God and co-heir with Christ”? Why does Paul connect being a child of God with sharing in Christ’s sufferings as well as His glory? 3. In verse 18, Paul states that our current sufferings “are not worth comparing” with future glory. What could make it difficult for us to believe this in your life today? 4. Romans 8:18 speaks of the Christian’s future glorification, when we will become a “perfected people”. Read and respond to the following definition: “In glorification, believers attain complete conformity to the image and likeness of the glorified Christ and are freed from both physical and spiritual defect. Glorification ensures that believers will never again experience bodily decay, death, or illness, and will never again struggle with sin. 5. Jim used the illustration of holding a 3x5 card marked “suffering” close to his eyes before moving it away to gain perspective. What helps you keep the proper perspective on suffering? How can others assist you in this? 6. Romans 8:19–21 depict creation yearning for renewal. What does this reveal about the extent of God’s redemption? Romans 8 shows that both believers and creation are longing for freedom. How can we live today as people who hold onto hope in a world still affected by decay? What’s your next step?

Book of Romans: Identity is Received not Achieved

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | October 5, 2025 Referenced Scripture: John 17:20-23, Ephesians:4:1-6, Galatians 3:26-28, Ephesians 6:12, John 13:34-35 Reflection Questions: 1) The primary metaphor the Bible uses to describe the church is a family. Does the church feel like a spiritual family to you? Why or why not? 2) What challenges keep churches from experiencing a sense of family? How can we overcome these challenges? 3) What are common things that create divisions in the American church? Do you think it is possible to build bridges over these divides? Why or why not? When could it be warranted to choose to divide? READ John 17:20-23“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 5) Is it even realistic to think that believers could be “one” just as the Father and the Son are “one” and “brought to complete unity”? What makes you skeptical about this? What makes you hopeful that this could happen? According to verse 23, why is unity central to the mission of the church (helping people come to know and follow Jesus). 6) What would you need to do differently in order to move toward the unity that Jesus prayed for in the church? What is your NEXT STEP to move toward Jesus’ vision for the church? 7) Do you think it is possible for people to be united in Christ when they think differently about God, the Bible, the Church, Culture, Social Issues, Politics, etc? Why or why not? How could that kind of unity be possible? What would it require of Christ followers? 8) How did the life and death of Jesus model a love for our enemies? How can this kind of love supersede the divisions we see in our culture? Who is our real enemy? Ephesians 6:12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 9) How can we practically battle him and not people we disagree with?

20th Anniversary: Unity

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 28, 2025 Referenced Scripture: John 10:3-5, 1 Kings 19:11-13, Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 8:9-11, Ephesians 4:14-17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Galatians 5:19-23 Reflection Questions: 1. Share a story from your life where you experienced hearing the Holy Spirit whisper to you? What gave you confidence that you were hearing from the Holy Spirit? 2. In your experience, what makes hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit difficult or confusing? How confident are you that you are actually hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit in your day to day life? What questions do you have about how to hear His whispers? 3. What things in your life create “noise” that make hearing the Holy Spirit more difficult? What could you do to lower the “noise” in your life? READ: Galatians 5:19-2319 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 4. What fruit do you observe in your life from the flesh and/or from the Spirit? What evidence do you see in the culture, in the church, and in your life that we may be living in the flesh? 5. How would the church be different if it was characterized by the fruit of the Spirit? How might the church be viewed differently by those outside the church that don’t follow Jesus? 6. How does our engagement in the voice of the world (marketing, news media, social media, podcasts, entertainment, etc.) affect the formation of our souls? How much time do you spend each day listening to these voices vs. time in the Word, prayer, and with the Body of Christ? What are the implications to your soul?

Book of Romans: The Battle (Flesh and Spirit)

Journey Church

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 14, 2025 Referenced Scripture: John 4:23-24, Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Ephesians 5:18, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:25 Reflection Questions: 1. Why is it important to understand what God has provided for us in His indwelling Holy Spirit and how to experience Him? (His person/power/and presence) 2. Why do you think many followers of Jesus have confusion around the person and work of the Holy Spirit? How have you experienced confusion? What are questions you still have about the Holy Spirit? 3. One of the themes of Romans 8 is the assurance of salvation that we receive from the Holy Spirit. (Assurance → the confidence and inner certainty a follower of Jesus has about their position as a child of God and the reality of their eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.) Why is it important to have assurance of our salvation? What challenges would we experience in our faith if we were not sure where we stood before God? How would you think/feel/live? 4. Explain what is meant by each of the following roles of the Holy Spirit: Indwelt -- Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19 Sealed -- Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Baptized -- 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Filled -- Ephesians 5:18 Walk/Live -- Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:25 5. Which role(s) were most helpful to you to understand? Are there still questions that remain for you? Explain. What is your level of confidence that the Holy Spirit is indeed living in your life? Explain. What have you experienced that gives you confidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life? Is there anything that makes you unsure? What is the next step you can take to know Him more and grow in your experience of Him? What’s your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

John 4:23-24, Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Ephesians 5:18, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:25

Reflection Questions:

1. Why is it important to understand what God has provided for us in His indwelling Holy Spirit and how to experience Him? (His person/power/and presence)

2. Why do you think many followers of Jesus have confusion around the person and work of the Holy Spirit? How have you experienced confusion? What are questions you still have about the Holy Spirit?

3. One of the themes of Romans 8 is the assurance of salvation that we receive from the Holy Spirit. (Assurance → the confidence and inner certainty a follower of Jesus has about their position as a child of God and the reality of their eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.) Why is it important to have assurance of our salvation? What challenges would we experience in our faith if we were not sure where we stood before God? How would you think/feel/live?

4. Explain what is meant by each of the following roles of the Holy Spirit:
Indwelt -- Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19
Sealed -- Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Baptized -- 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Filled -- Ephesians 5:18
Walk/Live -- Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:25

5. Which role(s) were most helpful to you to understand? Are there still questions that remain for you? Explain. What is your level of confidence that the Holy Spirit is indeed living in your life? Explain. What have you experienced that gives you confidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life? Is there anything that makes you unsure? What is the next step you can take to know Him more and grow in your experience of Him?

What’s your next step?
