Breaking Ground
How would you define “service?” Based on that definition, how are you serving at E3?
The Dig
Read Matthew 14: 28-31.
“What was he thinking?” Why do you think Peter challenged Jesus to “order him” to come out on the water?
What, do you think, changed in Peter between v28 and v30?
Have you ever struggled with your faith in Jesus? What circumstances tend to trigger your doubts?
Do you think Jesus ever doubts you? (Hint: the answer is no.)
What types of attitudes and activities can help increase our faith in Jesus?
Read John 14:9-14.
Jesus refers to the work that God (“the Father”) does. What words would you use to describe God’s work? To put it another way, what sorts of things does God do in the world?
What do you think Jesus means in verse 12? How can we do “greater things” than Jesus?
What type of God’s work are you involved in?
Getting Out of the Hole
CHALLENGE:
Move the church forward and care for it by responding to One Mission sacrificially and with generosity.
If you are able to give a lead gift/first fruit, you can do so on Celebration Sunday (May 6).
