Worship Gathering - Neighborhood Watch #3
Primary text: Acts 10-11
Focus:
This Sunday, we are continuing our sermon series about neighbors. This week we will look at one of the wildest stories in the Bible. This passage follows the Peter and Cornelius and their discovery of God's plans to widen the scope if the gospel message. What happens when God's plans are beyond what we can understand or even agree with? How could He include people who are completely unlike us, and frankly considered to be the enemy of God, to be our neighbor? How does the church of the first century respond? How might God be pushing us today? Join us Sunday at 10:30am.
Elements of the Worship Service:
1. Alabaster Offering
2. Go Team Report
Reflection Questions:
1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. Why would the events of Acts 10–11 be such a big deal to Peter and his friends?
3. Why would reaching others who are not just like you be a big deal?
4. Can we honestly say we are involved in God’s program of reaching everyone we can?
5. What are some ways we can do a better job of not being a respecter of persons?
6. Who can you reach out to this week?
7. How can we encourage and pray for each other in this?
