Book of Romans: Living Sacrifices

Book of Romans: Grace, Mirrors, and the Body of Christ

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | June 21, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 12:3-8, Luke 10:18-20 Reflection Questions: 1. The Mirror Question When you think about yourself, what voices most influence how you see yourself (success, failure, social media, family expectations, work, appearance, etc.)? How does the gospel challenge or reshape those voices? 2. Sober Judgment Paul calls us to "think of yourself with sober judgment" (Romans 12:3).Why do you think Paul warns against thinking too highly of ourselves? How can thinking too poorly of ourselves also become a form of self-focus? Follow-up: Which tendency do you struggle with more—self-exaltation or self-deprecation? 3. Grace and Gifts Paul emphasized that our gifts are "grace-gifts"—something received, not achieved.How does viewing your abilities, opportunities, and spiritual gifts as gifts of grace change the way you think about yourself and others? Follow-up: Is there a gift God has given you that you could steward more intentionally for the benefit of others? 4. Belonging to the Body We concluded with the idea that life in Christ is not about being the center, but about belonging and serving. What does it practically look like for you to move from asking "What about me?" to asking "How can I serve?" in your family, workplace, friendships, or church community this week? Follow-up: Is there a specific way God may be inviting you to contribute to the life of the body rather than simply consume from it? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Book of Romans: Living Sacrifices

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 14, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 12:1-2 Reflection Questions: 1. Where in your spiritual life have you struggled to see the change you have wanted to see? What has made that change difficult for you? What area of your life do you find yourself regularly disobeying God? Read Romans 12:1-2 2. “Therefore” What is the “therefore” there for? What is Paul referring back to at the beginning of chapter 12? 3. “In view of God’s mercy” Why would reflecting on the grace and the mercy of God provide motivation and a catalyst to desire change in your life or obey God? Have you ever obeyed out of fear rather than gratitude? What is the challenge/problem of letting fear be the motivation to surrender your life to God? 4. Take a few minutes to reflect on the cross of Jesus and on how you have seen the grace and mercy of God in your life. Share some of the ways you have seen God’s mercy. Take a few minutes to thank God in prayer for what He has done. 5. What does it mean to “offer your body as a living sacrifice”? What are examples of how you have done this or should be doing this? Are there any areas of your life that you are holding back from God? Explain. What makes these areas of your life difficult to surrender to God? 6. “True and proper” is literally translated “logical” (greek: logicon) Why is surrender to God the only “logical” response to the good news of the gospel? 7. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world” What does it mean to conform to the pattern of this world? What assumptions do I hold that come more from culture than Scripture? How does the world think differently than God in the areas of success, happiness, identity, sexuality, money, or power? 8. Where am I adopting cultural values instead of biblical values? Where do I need to renew my thinking? 9. Why do you think that transformation begins first in the renewing of our mind? 10. What content fills my mind? What voices are the loudest in my mind? Does it move me toward Christ or away from Him? Explain… 11. What practices are helpful to you to renew your mind and have God’s perspective over the perspective of this world? Where do you need to grow in renewing your mind? How will you do this?

Honest Questions: Hell and God’s Judgement

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | May 24, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Luke 16:19-31, Colossians 1:16, Romans 1:28-31 Reflection Questions: 1. When you hear the question, “How could a loving God send people to hell?”, what emotions or assumptions immediately come to mind? How did this message challenge, deepen, or reshape the way you think about that question? 2. The sermon described hell as “the final form of exile from God” rather than simply punishment. How does viewing the Bible through the lens of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration change the conversation about judgment? 3. In Luke 16, the rich man’s deepest issue was not wealth, but a heart curved inward on itself. Where are you tempted to become spiritually indifferent—to God, to others, or to suffering around you? 4. The cross shows Jesus entering our exile to bring us home. What stands out most to you about the idea that God personally stepped into judgment and suffering for humanity? 5. The sermon ended with the question: “Who am I becoming?” What habits, loves, priorities, or patterns are currently shaping your heart? Are they moving you toward deeper communion with God and others—or further inward toward self-centeredness? What’s your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Honest Questions: Sexuality

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | May 24, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Genesis 2:20-25, Genesis 3:7, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, Hebrews 4:15-16, Romans 12:1-2 Reflection Questions: 1. How would you explain the biblical teaching about God’s plan for a healthy and holy expression of our sexuality? Do you agree or disagree with this teaching? Why or why not? 2. How would you describe the culture's view of human sexuality? 3. How do these different views create tension for a person that wants to follow Jesus? How have you personally experienced or observed that tension? In your opinion, how has the church done at navigating that tension in the culture? What have we done well? What have we done poorly? Explain. 4. Every person is mixture of hundreds of desires that are aligned and misaligned with the perspective of Jesus regarding sexuality. How is a person to navigate these desires as a follower of Jesus? How are we to discern what to do with our desires? (especially those that don’t align with Jesus?) How can we learn to say no to those desires? 5. Why does submitting our desires to the redemptive care of Jesus require a lot of trust in His character and message? What do we need to believe about Jesus to trust him with our sexual desires? 6. Do you believe that Jesus lived a fulfilling life? Why or why not? Do you think that Jesus had all the same desires that we have as humans? Why or why not? Jesus lived his life as an unmarried man, who never had sex, and never had children, and had all the same temptations that we have (Hebrews 4:15-16) Do you think that we can also live a fulfilled life without those desires fulfilled? Explain. What do we need to experience a fulfilled and meaningful life if some of those desires are never fulfilled? 7. What is the role of the community of believers in helping us process the desires and brokenness of our sexuality? What makes involving others in this difficult or uncomfortable? How can you take steps to involve other people in helping you navigate your sexuality and desires? 8. Why is it important for us to acknowledge the reality that we all experience brokenness in our sexuality? What is the danger of only pointing to the brokenness of others in the culture and not naming/owning/confessing our own brokenness? 9. What is your next step in bringing your sexuality and desires into full alignment with the redemptive teaching of Jesus? Who will you process this with? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!
