PCC BENEDICTION
May you jump into the arms of Jesus and may He push out into the world. May you be healed as you participate in the healing of others. Not because you must, but because you may. This is why we were born!

Beyond Sunday
Like the Israelites in the desert heading toward the Promised Land, we are a faith community heading into a promised future. In this series, Together: Remembering - Experiences that Inform Our Future we will learn from the Israelites’ story, found in the Book of Deuteronomy, about what they were called to remember in order to follow God well. This week, we focus on how God has chosen us as His treasured possession.
1. Review: Pick 1 to reflect on and discuss.
--What have you been remembering about what God has done for you?
--How is BLESSing others in your land going?
--What commandment have you been attempting to live into more?
--Where are you with having a posture of fearing the Lord?
2. In your life, who made or makes you feel chosen and treasured? What impact does this have on you? How does feeling chosen and treasured impact the way you relate to the one who makes you feel this way?
3. Reflect on Deuteronomy 14:2 What are the multiple truths this passage is telling us? Why is it important that the Israelites and we believe that we are chosen and treasured? What are the possibilities if we do and the consequences if we don’t? How have you seen this play out in your life?
4. Review these passages Genesis 12:1-3, John 15:16, Ephesians 1:3-4,1 Peter 2:9. How does it make you feel that throughout history God gave His people the assurance that they are His and are set apart? What assurance do you hold onto that you are His and set apart?
5. On Sunday, Hannah Nielsen, Middle School Pastor, shared this quote in her message, “We can choose to run away or hide from our chosen-ness, but at some point, we must come to terms with it.” In what ways have you come to terms with it and lived into it? In what ways do you need to lean into it more? What step could you take to help you to do this more?
