Psalm 2 | Allan McCullough

May 28, 2023

Join us as we study Psalm 2. Psalm 2 reminds us that the world rebelling against God and God's people is not a new occurrence. Just as David did, we can meditate on the promises of God and be reminded that his kingdom alone will last forever.

Join us as we study Psalm 1. Psalm 1 acts as a guide to the purpose of the Psalter and an invitation to experience the delight that comes when we meditate on the Word of God.

FORMED, Part Ten | Together – Allan McCullough

May 14, 2023

For our final week in our FORMED series, we study Acts 2 among many other passages to understand how Jesus calls His church to live the Christian life together.

Reflection Questions:

How have you typically defined Christlike character and endurance for yourself?

How would it make you feel if a friend… …asked you to read the Bible with them once a week?

…asked you to help watch their kids so they could go on a date or get some rest?

…wanted to talk about faith more because they were struggling with doubt?

…confessed sin to you and wanted some accountability?

…invited you over for dinner to hang out?

…called you to share something they read in Scripture that really encouraged them?

What do you assume your friends feel whenever you think about calling them to ask for help?

Why do you think we are so programmed to manage as much of life and faith as possible on our own?

Read Acts 2:42-47.

How do you envision the way this church lives life together? What practical things could we as a church do to better live by the example of the early church in Acts 2? Why is self-reliance antithetical to the gospel?

May 7, 2023

Join us as Evan Snyder continues our study in James.

FORMED, Part Nine | Empowered – Allan McCullough

April 23, 2023

For our ninth week in our FORMED series, we study Ezekiel 36 among many other passages to understand the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Reflection Questions:
1. Read Ezekiel 36:22-28, Jeremiah 31:33, and John 14:26. What is God’s role in our growth and sanctification?
2. Review 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21, Isaiah 63:10, Acts 7:51, Ephesians 4:29-32, 1 Corinthian 12:3, and Jude 19. What does it seem the Spirit is trying to do in us and how do we fight against that?
3. Review Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Matthew 10:19, and Romans 8:26-27. In what ways does the Spirit empower us?
4. How do you feel the Spirit has gifted you for ministry?
5. One way we can resist the Holy Spirit is through disregarding God’s Word - do you know of anything in God’s Word that you feel tempted to ignore?
6. One way we can resist the Holy Spirit is through being unteachable. Who in your life has permission to challenge, exhort, teach, or even rebuke you? How have you responded to this in the past?
7. One way we can resist the Holy Spirit is through being unkind. God is a gracious, patient, and gentle God and He calls His people to display the same character. Why do you think unkindness is a way of quenching the work of the Spirit in us?
8. Read Philippians 1:6 & Hebrews 12:7-11. Why is God a good Father through His discipline? Why is this good news that God will complete His work of sanctification in us, even if we resist?

FORMED, Part Eight | Minister – Allan McCullough

April 16, 2023

We continue in our FORMED series and study Ephesians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5 to understand WHY it is critical that Christlike Character be formed in us.
Reflection Questions:
1. Christlike Character is when our “inner being is at rest under the compassion and Lordship of Christ.” What is the inner being?
2. What do you think it means to be at rest under the compassion of Christ?
3. What do you think it means to be at rest under the Lordship of Christ?
4. What does it look like to accept the compassion of Christ but not His Lordship? Or to accept the Lordship of Christ but not His compassion?
5. How would you describe the state of your inner being? Where is Christ molding, shaping, and challenging you? Do you give time to reflect on your inner being?
6. Ask those closest to you about their thoughts on the state of your inner being. Do they see you as someone who is at rest under the compassion and Lordship of Christ?
7. What does it mean to minister the compassion and Lordship of Christ to others and why is it crucial that our inner being be at rest in these things in order to minister them to others?
8. Where has God called you to be a minister specifically? What does it specifically look like to minister the compassion and Lordship of Christ in these spaces?

FORMED, Part Seven | Compassion – Allan McCullough

March 26, 2023

We study Matthew 9 to learn about the compassion that God has shown us and the compassion He calls His people to show the world as ministers of the New Covenant.

Reflection Questions:

Read Luke 14:16-24 and Luke 15:11-32. Using these parables from Jesus, compare and contrast the Old Covenant with the New Covenant. Try to be as detailed as possible. What is God’s role in each? What is the role of God’s people in each?

In Matthew 9, why are Jesus’ actions incompatible with the Old Covenant thinking of the Pharisees? What does Jesus mean that His blood inaugurates a New Covenant when He serves the Last Supper?

How would you describe New Covenant Compassion? What does Jesus’ example show us? What are the prerequisites for New Covenant Compassion?

Do you find that you have this kind of compassion toward the lost, the poor, the oppressed, and the broken? Maybe some, but not all?

Does New Covenant Compassion make your uncomfortable or uneasy? Describe what it makes you feel.

Can you remember a time where you developed compassion for someone after you learned their story?

In what ways can you begin to daily remind yourself of the compassion that God has shown you?
