Welcome

Check In – How is everyone doing (good things, teaching applied, lessons learned, prayers answered)?

Word

• Is there something that makes you cynical in society?
• Why are we often surprised by the brokenness of the world?
• Read Philippians 2:14-15
• Paul describes his generation as “warped and crooked”.  Brant Hansen says “Perhaps a big part of being less offendable is seeing the human heart as what it is: Untrustworthy, Unfaithful, Prone to Selfishness…Now we don’t have to be shocked.”  What do you think of that statement?
• How was Jesus able to know this and yet see the best and potential in people?
• How can we do everything without grumping and complaining?
• Paul tells us we need to be like children.  What can we learn from kids when it comes to seeing and ministering to people?
• How can we shine like stars in the world? How can we live exceptionally?’
• What is one thing you need to apply from this lesson?

Witness

How can we show beauty in a world that is broken?   

Prayer

Pray for peace in our world.  Pray for unity in our country and church.  Pray for any other requests you have.
