Let me say this just ONE MORE TIME. If what we do on Easter Sunday at the stadium is based solely on our efforts, we will fail. However, if God is leading the way and doing what ONLY HE CAN DO…then we’ll see somethings and experience something that we’ll talk about for years to come.

That is why our time in prayer is such a key factor to the “success” of a day like this.

Please come and join us Saturday morning at 8:00. Bring your children. It’s good to show them the importance and power of prayer. We’ll start in our parking lot in front of the church offices.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV)

LifeGroup study guide – Week 5: “Everyone is Unleashed”

Stepping In: Getting things started!

1-What are you most looking forward to at the Easter celebration?

2-Share something from the weekend message that really hit home for you.

Building Up: What is God Saying? 

Read Acts 3:1-10, then answer the following questions:

1-The “routine” we find early on in this story reminds us that God can use the most ordinary moments in our day to do something extraordinary. Share with your group something God once did in a routine and otherwise ordinary moment in your life. What are some of the times of your “routine” that you think are ripe with opportunity?

2-In verse 6, Peter says, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus…” What are some things we DO have that, in the name of Jesus, we can offer to others?

3-Praising God seems like the obvious, natural response in this man’s celebration. Why don’t we praise God more for the good stuff in life? What would help us get to the point where praising God was the first response to any great situation?

Read John 14:6, then answer the following questions:

4-How does this truth help us understand the investment we make in money, time, energy and more, when it comes to special days like this?

Living Out: How do I obey?

1-The man in the story was miraculously healed. What is a compelling part of your story that gives credit to God and points the way to what Jesus could do in someone else’s life?

2-Pray together for Easter. Pray for the teams in which you will all be serving. Pray for those you are and have been inviting. Pray for Pastor John, Sarah Kelly and all who will be a part of the program. Pray for the decision time, that we will see many people take a step toward Jesus!

While Easter is just a week away, The Big Serve is only a month away. So, we’ve been working on that as well.

Ken Graff, The Big Serve coordinator, has been setting up our projects for what we’ll do all over our Valley on April 26th.

We want to work with several schools and to do that we need a team leader for each school site.

If you have a school in mind and would like to head up a team at that campus we need to know ASAP. We already have 3 or 4 lined up, but would like more.

Please call the office, 951-929-2135 with your school and the details of what will be accomplished at that site. You can also simply email Ken: kanddgraff@yahoo.com
