Thanksgiving Grocery Collection | Through Nov. 13

In collaboration with Advice & Aid, Woodland Elementary, and Salvation Army, we are collecting Thanksgiving groceries for local families. Stop by the lobby and pick up a shopping list and bag to fill, or apply for your own family or a family you know to receive a bag. Filled bags due Sunday, November 13.

Conversation Starter: Daniel 3:1-30

<b>TAKEAWAY: </b>What is one personal takeaway and one question that you had from the sermon?<br><b>THINKING BACK: </b>Have you ever been in a situation when your faith offended someone? What happened? OR in what ways might your faith be offensive in our contemporary culture going forward?<br><b>SCRIPTURE: </b>Read Daniel 3:16-18. What is the difference between “God Will” faith and “Even If” faith? How does “Even If” faith change the way we respond to God during times of difficulty, sorrow, and pain?<br><b>OPENING UP:</b> Is there a time in your life where you either personally embraced or witnessed in someone else this idea of “Even If” faith? What was the situation? How did this “Even If” faith impact you?<br><b>REFLECT: </b>We all have idols that we are prone to turn to and worship over and above God. Usually they aren’t bad things, but rather good things that have simply become ultimate things. What idols do you find yourself more likely to bow to in your life?<br><b>PRAY: </b>Read Matthew 26:39 and Hebrews 4:14-16 and remember how our God enters the furnace with us.As we consider this, let’s entrust all of our concerns and hopes to God, knowing that he is with us in all of it. And as we pray let us remind ourselves that God is God, God is good, and God is still in control.
