Open Doors

This week’s message wraps up The Gospel in the Group Chat series by bringing the focus back to the basics of living on mission in everyday life. Teaching from Colossians 4:2–6, the call is clear: sharing your faith isn’t about having the perfect words or strategy—it starts with a life rooted in prayer, shaped by wisdom, and expressed through grace. You’ll hear a practical and freeing approach to evangelism: before we talk to people about God, we talk to God about people. From there, our everyday lives become the platform—how we live, interact, and respond opens doors for meaningful conversations. And when those moments come, we’re invited to speak with a tone that reflects Jesus—gracious, thoughtful, and compelling. This message also grounds the mission in the bigger story of the gospel, reminding us that we’re not responsible for changing hearts—God is already at work. Our role is simply to be available, faithful, and willing to share what Jesus has done in our own lives. If you’ve ever felt pressure, uncertainty, or hesitation around sharing your faith, this teaching will reframe it in a way that is simple, personal, and deeply impactful. www.movementcolumbus.com

Nicodemus

What does it actually look like to share your faith in everyday life—not from a stage, but in conversations, relationships, and even group chats? This message walks through the story of Nicodemus in John 3 and unpacks one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, John 3:16, in its full context. Nicodemus was a religious leader who had knowledge, status, and influence—yet he came to Jesus searching for something more. Jesus meets him with a truth that still confronts us today: real life doesn’t come from what we do, but from being made new by the Spirit. At the center of this message is a clear reminder—salvation is not something we produce; it’s something God gives. Our role isn’t to change hearts, but to faithfully point people to Jesus and trust God with the outcome. You’ll be challenged to consider two questions: • Are you like Nicodemus—curious, searching, but hesitant to fully trust Jesus? • Or are you called to step into someone else’s story—to patiently, consistently point them toward Him? This isn’t a message about quick conversations or instant results. It’s about long-term faithfulness. Real relationships. Living in a way that makes Jesus visible over time. If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith without forcing it—or how to stay committed when you don’t see immediate impact—this message will give you clarity, direction, and encouragement. God loved the world so much that He sent His Son. Now, He’s sending you. www.movementcolumbus.com

Zaccheus

Jesus’ encounter with Zaccheus in Luke 19 reminds us that transformation begins when we see people the way Jesus does. In this message, we explore how Jesus looked past wealth, status, and reputation to see a man who was spiritually curious, isolated, and deeply in need of grace. Zaccheus had everything the world could offer, yet still lacked what only Christ could give. This message highlights the heart of Jesus’ mission: to seek and save the lost, to restore what sin has broken, and to offer grace that changes lives from the inside out. It is a powerful reminder that people are never just what they appear to be on the surface, and that the church is called to notice the outsider, welcome the curious, and tell the story of real transformation. www.movementcolumbus.com

The Samaritan Woman

In this message from the series The Gospel in the Group Chat, we explore the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4. Through an unexpected conversation at a well, Jesus reveals that the gospel crosses every barrier—race, gender, status, and past mistakes. The woman’s life is transformed, and her simple response becomes powerful: she runs back to her town and invites others to “come and see.” This message looks at how faith often begins with someone’s story and grows when people encounter Jesus for themselves. You don’t need perfect answers or a platform to point others to Christ—sometimes all it takes is sharing what Jesus has done in your life. www.movementcolumbus.com

Sent People

We’re kicking off The Gospel in the Group Chat with a clear challenge: you are a sent person. In 1 Peter 3:13–18, we’re reminded that following Jesus won’t always be easy—but it is always worth it. We’re called to live with courage, worship Christ with our whole lives, and be ready to explain the hope we have. And when we do, we’re to speak with gentleness and respect, trusting God with the outcome. As Easter approaches, this message will help you identify where you’ve been tempted to shrink back, who God may be prompting you to reach, and how to anchor yourself more deeply in Jesus when pressure rises. Share your hope with courage. Speak with compassion. Trust God with the results. www.movementcolumbus.com
