Jump Start Elementary Ministry

After much prayer and consideration, we are changing the format for our Jump Start Elementary Ministry 1st-6th graders starting on Sunday, February 5th.

Parents will check in as usual upon arrival, but kids will then go into the worship service with their families. They will be dismissed right before the sermon to meet their leaders in the hallway out the side doors to head up to Jump Start. After service, you will still head upstairs to Jump Start with their security pick-up tag to pick them up.

Give

We thank you for your faithful gifts. You can give online and, of course, on Sundays by using the secure drop boxes located outside the doors of the Sanctuary. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS.

Romans 12:1-21

Repentance Through Encouragement
(Romans 12:1-21)
Yearly Theme: “Kindness is… Action”
Series Title: “Kindness is a Verb”
January 15th, 2023
Key Point: Authentic encouragement is an act of kindness driven by humility.
- True Kindness begins with understanding God’s kindness towards us.

- Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s seeing yourself the way God sees us.

- True encouragement is an extension of God’s love through ourselves.
hey
What if learning the will of God in Romans 12:2 is intentionally tied to finding out your spiritual gifts in Romans 12:3-8? How does one discern God’s will for life and what is God primarily interested in that may cause us to adjust our thinking on His will for our lives?
Read verses 3-8. How ought we to think of ourselves? Why? How ought we to think of others? Why? What are the gifts mentioned? How should they be used? How can we see and respect the greatness of others?
In what ways ought we to treat others as more important than ourselves?
What instructions does God want us to observe in our relationships?
hey
JOURNAL

What does it mean to be conformed to this world?

Why should we not be like the world?

Who runs the world?

Are you tempted to try to be liked or be popular to those around you in the world? Why?

Name one way the world tries to press you into its mold.

In what area does the world try to press Christians into its mold? Name a few key issues where the world’s way of doing things is very different from God’s way.
APPLICATION
What are some resources that you have that you could contribute to needy people in our church? Don’t just think about money. You have more resources than that!




MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 12:10
“Love each other with genuine affection,
and take delight in honoring each other.“





hey
JOURNAL
The Roman church had these ‘hypocrites.’ (2:1-4) Do you think our churches have them too?
What can you say to a person who says he stays out of church because hypocrites go there?


What things have lead you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness for your sins?


The quote, “you may be the only Bible someone ever sees” comes to mind here. In what ways do you need to be more sensitive to this fact in your life? Where are the areas where you a prone to misrepresent God and how he has called you to live?
