Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | July 20, 2025

Referenced Scripture:
Psalm 3, 2 Samuel 15:12

Reflection Questions:
1. Is a “first aid kit” a good wedding gift? How does a first aid kit help us reflect on our spiritual response during times of crisis?

2. Read Psalm 3 aloud. Which words or phrases stand out to you, especially in the context of a personal or national crisis?

3. In verses 1–2, David openly shares his fears and distress. How does this show us a way to bring our troubles to God?

4. Verse 3 reads, “But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” What does each of those images represent, and how are they part of God’s “first aid kit” in a crisis?

5. How do you usually respond when feeling overwhelmed—flight, fight, freeze, or faith? How does David show a faith-filled response?

6. Respond to the quote used in the sermon: “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is because you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?” (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

7. Verse 5 describes David lying down and sleeping even while surrounded by danger. What allows someone to rest during a crisis? Have you experienced this kind of peace?

8. What are some practical ways you can “reach for” God's spiritual first aid kit when facing emotional, relational, or spiritual crises?

9. How can we encourage one another to rest in Psalm 3 truths when life feels out of control? Take time to share prayer requests. What crises (big or small) are you facing right now? Pray specifically using the language and promises of Psalm 3.

Referenced Scripture:
Psalms 8, Ephesians 2:3-10

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | June 29, 2025

Referenced Scripture: Psalms 121:1-8, Luke 2:41-42

Reflection Questions:
1. When you were a child, who did you naturally turn to for help? What did that teach you about trust?

2. Read Psalm 121 aloud together. Which phrases or verses stood out to you, and why?

3. The psalm begins with a question: “Where does my help come from?” How would most people you know answer that? How do you respond?

4. In verse 2, the Psalmist answers his question: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” How does knowing God as the Creator affect your confidence in Him?

5. The psalm describes God as one who “will not slumber” and who “watches over” His people constantly. What does this reveal about God’s character? Is that how we usually think of God’s involvement in our daily lives?

6. The repeated phrase “watch over” (six times) emphasizes ongoing care. How have you experienced God’s watchful care recently, even if it wasn’t immediately obvious?

7. When have you been tempted to seek help from sources other than God, like people, money, control, or escape? What was the outcome?

8. Is there a particular situation in your life right now where you need to reaffirm that your help comes from the Lord? How can this group support and pray for you?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 1, 2025

Referenced Scripture:
10:14-17, Matthew 10:19-20, John 16:7-8

Reflection Questions:
1. “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary use words.” -Saint Francis of AssisiEvaluate this statement. What you like or dislike about it?

2. What has caused you to be hesitant to talk to your friend or neighbor about your story of faith in Jesus? Have you had any positive or negative experiences? Explain.

Take time to write out the 3 parts of your faith story…

3. Part 1: My Life before Jesus
What was your life like before you met Jesus?
If you grew up in church knowing about Jesus, what was your life before you got serious following Him?

4. Part 2: How I Met Jesus
How did you become a Christ-follower?
Did you go through a particularly tough time in your life that led you to God?
Did a friend invite you to a church service?
Did a family member introduce you to Jesus?
Did an experience inspire you to fully commit to following?

5. Part 3: My Life since I Met Jesus
What difference has following Jesus made in your life? How has knowing Him impacted how you walk through both the good and the hard times in life?

In the sermon we talked about the difference between religion and Christianity was DO vs. DONE. How would you explain this idea to someone who was not a person of faith?

Questions to help understand where a person is at on their faith journey:

* Do you have any kind of spiritual background?
* Do you have a belief in God? What do you think God is like? How did you come to those beliefs about God?
* Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God, or staying about the same?
* If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would you say?

6. Reflect: What do you like or dislike about these questions? What questions would you add?

7. Romans 10:14-15, 17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ... Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Why would you say it is necessary to use our words to help someone understand the “good news” of the gospel? How would explain the good news to someone with no faith background? What are the things they need to understand in order to make a decision to follow Jesus?

8. Who is someone in your life you could share your story with this week?
