Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | October 12, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:14-17a, John 1:12-13, Galatians 3:26, 1 John 3:1a, 1 Peter 2:9a, Ephesians 1:4-5a Reflection Questions: 1) Read Romans 8:14-17a, John 1:12-13 and Galatians 3:26. All give us clarity as to our identity as Jesus followers. What insights stand out to you about these passages? Would you add any passages to this list? What does it mean to be a child of God? 2) Our culture teaches us to find our identity or to create our identity by achievement. Where do you see in your life or in the lives around you evidence of achievement creating or supporting identity? 3) Read 1st John 3:1, 1st Peter 2:9 and Eph 1:4-5. Each describes God's love for his children. Describe what stands out to you about God's love. Would you add other scriptures that emphasize God's love for his children? 4) As God's children what does it look like to receive his love for us? Is that something that is or was challenging for you? In what ways do you actively receive God's love? What’s your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | October 5, 2025 Referenced Scripture: John 17:20-23, Ephesians:4:1-6, Galatians 3:26-28, Ephesians 6:12,John 13:34-35 Reflection Questions: 1) The primary metaphor the Bible uses to describe the church is a family. Does the church feel like a spiritual family to you? Why or why not? 2) What challenges keep churches from experiencing a sense of family? How can we overcome these challenges? 3) What are common things that create divisions in the American church? Do you think it is possible to build bridges over these divides? Why or why not? When could it be warranted to choose to divide? READ John 17:20-23“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 5) Is it even realistic to think that believers could be “one” just as the Father and the Son are “one” and “brought to complete unity”? What makes you skeptical about this? What makes you hopeful that this could happen? According to verse 23, why is unity central to the mission of the church (helping people come to know and follow Jesus). 6) What would you need to do differently in order to move toward the unity that Jesus prayed for in the church? What is your NEXT STEP to move toward Jesus’ vision for the church? 7) Do you think it is possible for people to be united in Christ when they think differently about God, the Bible, the Church, Culture, Social Issues, Politics, etc? Why or why not? How could that kind of unity be possible? What would it require of Christ followers? 8) How did the life and death of Jesus model a love for our enemies? How can this kind of love supersede the divisions we see in our culture? Who is our real enemy? Ephesians 6:12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 9) How can we practically battle him and not people we disagree with? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 28, 2025   Referenced Scripture: John 10:3-5, 1 Kings 19:11-13, Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 8:9-11, Ephesians 4:14-17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Galatians 5:19-23   Reflection Questions: 1. Share a story from your life where you experienced hearing the Holy Spirit whisper to you?  What gave you confidence that you were hearing from the Holy Spirit?   2. In your experience, what makes hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit difficult or confusing?  How confident are you that you are actually hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit in your day to day life?  What questions do you have about how to hear His whispers?   3. What things in your life create “noise” that make hearing the Holy Spirit more difficult?  What could you do to lower the “noise” in your life?   READ: Galatians 5:19-2319 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.   4. What fruit do you observe in your life from the flesh and/or from the Spirit?  What evidence do you see in the culture, in the church, and in your life that we may be living in the flesh?   5. How would the church be different if it was characterized by the fruit of the Spirit? How might the church be viewed differently by those outside the church that don’t follow Jesus?   6. How does our engagement in the voice of the world (marketing, news media, social media, podcasts, entertainment, etc.) affect the formation of our souls?  How much time do you spend each day listening to these voices vs. time in the Word, prayer, and with the Body of Christ?  What are the implications to your soul?   What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 21, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 7:21-25, Romans 8:5-8, John 16:8, Romans 8:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 10:5, James 5:16, Galatians 6:7-9 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, pg. 112 Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him…. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. Reflection Questions: Romans 7:21-25 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!... 1. In Romans 7, Paul describes his internal battle with sin. How would you describe your own battle to overcome sin in your life? 2. Paul uses the term “flesh” to describe what we are battling against. How would you define “flesh” as Paul uses it in the Bible? 3. The battle is between our flesh and the Spirit. Paul says the battleground is the MIND. Why is the mind so important? How does sin often start in our mind(thoughts)? Explain. Romans 8:13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 4. How can we put to death sin in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit? John 16:8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong (conviction) about sin and righteousness and judgment… Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 5. What is the difference between Conviction and Condemnation? Why is conviction a good thing and condemnation a bad thing? How can we experience conviction while at the same time not experience condemnation? 6. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “flesh”? Describe. Give examples. 7. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “Spirit”? What are things that the Spirit draws our attention to? 8. What is your mind set on? How can we know what our mind is set on? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Why is it important to understand what God has provided for us in His indwelling Holy Spirit and how to experience Him? (His person/power/and presence) 2. Why do you think many followers of Jesus have confusion around the person and work of the Holy Spirit? How have you experienced confusion? What are questions you still have about the Holy Spirit? 3. One of the themes of Romans 8 is the assurance of salvation that we receive from the Holy Spirit. (Assurance → the confidence and inner certainty a follower of Jesus has about their position as a child of God and the reality of their eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.) Why is it important to have assurance of our salvation? What challenges would we experience in our faith if we were not sure where we stood before God? How would you think/feel/live? 4. Explain what is meant by each of the following roles of the Holy Spirit:Indwelt -- Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19 Sealed -- Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22Baptized -- 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17Filled -- Ephesians 5:18Walk/Live -- Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:25 5. Which role(s) were most helpful to you to understand? Are there still questions that remain for you? Explain. What is your level of confidence that the Holy Spirit is indeed living in your life? Explain. What have you experienced that gives you confidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life? Is there anything that makes you unsure?

What role does the Holy Spirit play in narrowing that gap? 4) Read: John 16:7 … Would you choose your experience of the Holy Spirit over having Jesus with you in person? Why or why not? Why do you think Jesus believes it is better for us to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit than us having a face to face relationship with Jesus? 5) What questions do you have about the role of the Holy Spirit in helping us live the Christian life? 6) What is your heart posture toward engaging the person of the Holy Spirit?

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | August 24, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Ruth 3 Big Idea: God is a creative provider because at His core He is a God of Hesed…Ruth did it; Boaz did it; and we can do it too! Reflection Questions: 1. What did you learn from Ruth Chapter 3 and how did that impact/help you?2. How has Ruth, the person, challenged or affirmed your perception of female roles? (For instance she proposed to Boaz…)3. How uncomfortable are you with Boaz being in “good spirits” and Ruth, all dolled up, lying down next to him rather intimately?4.

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | August 10, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Ruth 1:1-22 Big Idea: Whatever your emptiness is, God knows and cares and has redemptive plans for you.

Share a time where you tangibly saw God's love and provision in your faith journey. 4. Working out of a dry season also involves placing our Hope in what God will do.

How does a first aid kit help us reflect on our spiritual response during times of crisis?  2. Read Psalm 3 aloud. Which words or phrases stand out to you, especially in the context of a personal or national crisis?  3. In verses 1–2, David openly shares his fears and distress. How does this show us a way to bring our troubles to God?  4. Verse 3 reads, “But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” What does each of those images represent, and how are they part of God’s “first aid kit” in a crisis?  5. How do you usually respond when feeling overwhelmed—flight, fight, freeze, or faith? How does David show a faith-filled response?  6. Respond to the quote used in the sermon: “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is because you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?” (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)  7. Verse 5 describes David lying down and sleeping even while surrounded by danger. What allows someone to rest during a crisis? Have you experienced this kind of peace?  8. What are some practical ways you can “reach for” God's spiritual first aid kit when facing emotional, relational, or spiritual crises?  9. How can we encourage one another to rest in Psalm 3 truths when life feels out of control? Take time to share prayer requests. What crises (big or small) are you facing right now? Pray specifically using the language and promises of Psalm 3.   What’s your next step?  * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | July 6, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Psalms 8, Ephesians 2:3-10 Reflection Questions: 1. Recount the last time you were in awe of something? What was it? 2. What area of “ruling” has God tasked you within creation? How can you “rule” in that area for God’s glory? 3. In what ways can we encourage being good stewards of God’s wonderful and marvelous creation simply because creation consists of “the works of his hands”? 4. Read v5-9 again slowly.

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | June 29, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Psalms 121:1-8, Luke 2:41-42 Reflection Questions:1. When you were a child, who did you naturally turn to for help? What did that teach you about trust? 2. Read Psalm 121 aloud together. Which phrases or verses stood out to you, and why? 3. The psalm begins with a question: “Where does my help come from?” How would most people you know answer that? How do you respond? 4. In verse 2, the Psalmist answers his question: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” How does knowing God as the Creator affect your confidence in Him? 5. The psalm describes God as one who “will not slumber” and who “watches over” His people constantly. What does this reveal about God’s character? Is that how we usually think of God’s involvement in our daily lives? 6. The repeated phrase “watch over” (six times) emphasizes ongoing care. How have you experienced God’s watchful care recently, even if it wasn’t immediately obvious? 7. When have you been tempted to seek help from sources other than God, like people, money, control, or escape? What was the outcome? 8. Is there a particular situation in your life right now where you need to reaffirm that your help comes from the Lord? How can this group support and pray for you?

Do you feel comfortable or uncomfortable with the idea that the God of the universe is interested in the small details of your life? Why? 3. Have you considered before, that when you ask for God's help, you are bringing honor to Him? How might this perspective change your behavior towards God? 4.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 1, 2025   Referenced Scripture: 10:14-17, Matthew 10:19-20, John 16:7-8 Reflection Questions:1. “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary use words.” -Saint Francis of AssisiEvaluate this statement. What you like or dislike about it? 2. What has caused you to be hesitant to talk to your friend or neighbor about your story of faith in Jesus? Have you had any positive or negative experiences? Explain. Take time to write out the 3 parts of your faith story… 3. Part 1: My Life before JesusWhat was your life like before you met Jesus? If you grew up in church knowing about Jesus, what was your life before you got serious following Him? 4. Part 2: How I Met JesusHow did you become a Christ-follower? Did you go through a particularly tough time in your life that led you to God? Did a friend invite you to a church service? Did a family member introduce you to Jesus? Did an experience inspire you to fully commit to following? 5. Part 3: My Life since I Met JesusWhat difference has following Jesus made in your life? How has knowing Him impacted how you walk through both the good and the hard times in life? In the sermon we talked about the difference between religion and Christianity was DO vs. DONE. How would you explain this idea to someone who was not a person of faith? Questions to help understand where a person is at on their faith journey: * Do you have any kind of spiritual background?* Do you have a belief in God? What do you think God is like? How did you come to those beliefs about God?* Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God, or staying about the same?* If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would you say? 6. Reflect: What do you like or dislike about these questions? What questions would you add? 7. Romans 10:14-15, 17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ... Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Why would you say it is necessary to use our words to help someone understand the “good news” of the gospel? How would explain the good news to someone with no faith background? What are the things they need to understand in order to make a decision to follow Jesus? 8. Who is someone in your life you could share your story with this week?
