Sermon Series: You're So Close | Week 4 Speaker: Pastor Cody Surratt Date: April 28th, 2024

1. On a scale of 1-10 how “at peace” are you today? (1=Completely Lacking Peace, 10=Totally at Peace) 2. Read John 16:33. What has Jesus done to bring peace: 1. To the world, 2. In the war with Sin? How does pursuing a relationship with Jesus bring peace in your life? 3. Is it possible to be at peace with all the people in your life? Why or why not (see Hebrews 12:14)? Read Ephesians 4:2-3. What makes peace among believers so important? In what way is peace among believers different than peace with those outside of the family of God? How do you approach peace in these relationships differently? 4. Psalm 77 outlines steps believers can take to receive God’s peace (1. Cry out to God, 2. Remember His past blessings, 3. Ask God the hard questions, 4. Choose different thoughts, 5. Praise God, 6. Trust God to deliver you). Which of these comes the most naturally to you? Which one is the most difficult in times when you are lacking peace? 5. What do you need to do or change as a result of today’s message? ============================= Sermon Series: You're So Close | Week 3 Speaker: Pastor Doyle Surratt Date: April 21st, 2024

Discussion Questions of the Week: 1. Are you the type of person who likes to think about the “why” of life? Or do you find yourself focusing more on the “what” and the “how?” Why is the “why” important? 2. Where do you see God working in your world (your family, community, and church as well as the world at large)? How can you see yourself becoming a part of that work? 3. In what ways have you centered your life around you (your wants, needs, happiness)? 4. What resources (gifts, talents, relationships and actual resources) has God given you? Do you have an idea of where and how God would like you to apply them? What is it? 5. Send It! What is God calling you to do or change in response to today’s message?
