A Smelly Sermon

30/3/2022

 
Picture

Sentence:

‘Create in me a clean heart O God: and renew a right spirit within me.’ Psalm 51:17

Collect:

​May God our Creator, walk with us during this season of Lent. May we enter more deeply into the passion of Jesus and come to depend more completely on his Spirit, that we may live a life that shines with the light of the resurrected Christ. Amen.

Bible Readings:

  • Philippians 3:4-14
  • John 12:1-8
NOTE: There will be no prerecorded message this week. Please skip to the sermon section of the Livestream 9am on Sunday. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Questions:

​Some thoughts for discussion:
How can we as a church be a fragrance
  1. Within the church family
  2. Out in the ‘world’
Conversely – In what ways do we create a stench
  1. Within the church family
  2. Out in the ‘world’
Discuss ‘extravagance’  (definition: lack of restraint in spending money or using resources.)
  1. In the world
  2. In the church
  3. In our own individual lives

    We have a variety of tools that we are working on to help small groups 'connect'. These include activities that you can choose to do together as a small group worship service.
    Remember that these are simply a starting point for your small group - you may discover other tools or activities that suit you better. If you do discover something fabulous, please share it so others may also be encouraged.

    We thank the Diocese of Wellington for their work in forming the framework for the house church liturgy.
