Here are Russell’s questions on Colossians 3:1-17. based on his sermon The Good Life

What does Paul mean by “set your sights on the realities of heaven?”
What misconceptions does the world have about heaven, including us?
Explain what is meant by ‘hidden in Christ’? V3
Why is it important to get rid of our old nature ? Give an example, if you can, the types of things that you once loved.
Where do you find your identity? And how does knowing Christ change that?
What does it mean to live the good life in Christ Jesus? Healthy eating, being self-sufficient or something entirely different?

This week, instead of working through a list of questions set for you, read the passage ( Luke 14: 25-35) and then phrase by phrase, as a group explain it together, and to each other.

If you missed Dave’s sermon here’s the link – Jesus demands we give Him everything

After your study please take some time to pray: for each other, our fellowship and Sierra Leone.

The sermon for Zephaniah 3 can be found here: What a way to end!

Looking at verses 1-7 look at and list all the sins and consider how they were sins against God.
Consider what relevance these verses have for us: a) as a church and b) as individuals.
Verses 8-20 – looking at these verses, discuss which of these prophecies has been fulfilled by Christ and which are still to come.
Verses 8-20 – how many times does God say ‘I will?’ talk through each of these and consider the relevance for us today.
Please take some time to pray for us as a fellowship using Psalm 127 1 as a lead in to prayer.

A　study　on　the sermon: Hunted down　Chapter 2 of Zephaniah

Discuss the first three verses of the chapter, specifically look at and talk through the following phrases – how might they apply to us today?:

verse 1 “Gather together—yes, gather together…”
verse 2 “the fierce fury of the Lord falls and the terrible day of the Lord’s anger”
verse 3　 “Seek the Lord”,
Verse 3 all who are humble, and follow his commands.
Verse 3 “Seek to do what is right and to live humbly. Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you

Take the rest of the chapter and look at the individual ‘judgement oracles’, consider:

the different directions mentioned,
the sins mentioned
the warnings given
which of the prophecies were fulfilled and which are yet to come
does any of this passage equate with what’s going on in the Middle East today?
