House Church Resources

The Responsible, The Rebel, The Remarkable and Reconciliation

24/3/2022

 
Picture

Sentence:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17&18

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.

Readings:

  • 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
  • Luke 15:1-3,11-32

Questions:

  1. What do you like about the story of The Lost Son?
  2. What does this story teach us about God?
  3. Can you identify times in your life when you have been the responsible? The rebel? The remarkable?
  4. Are you willing to embrace the cost of allowing the Spirit to transform you to be more like the remarkable?
  5. Has the Spirit highlighted something for me to obey?
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.

    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.
