Mission Focus SundayGuest Speaker Dave NarvesenLBIM Missionary to Chad

Discussion Questions:1. What “issues” do you see with technology in your life/home?2. Why do you think technology has idol potential?3. What connection do you see between the needs one seeks to have met through technology, and what Jesus offers?4. Perhaps offer this as your prayer today: "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord’” (Jonah 2:8-9).

Discussion Questions:1. Before today’s message, what picture did you have in your mind of power?2. What does Jesus’ example teach you about true power and how to use it?3. If God is near the weak (powerless), then what might you tell yourself next time you feel weak?4. “All you need is need”, Keller says. What is your reaction to that? (Is that all you have?)5. Think of someone you know who is “on the bathroom floor”. How is God leading you to bring them hope?

Money and possessions can be idols. As such, they insist that in some way we love, trust and obey them. Think of an idol(s) that vies for your love, trust and obedience. What is it?3. Read Philippians 3:7-8. What of Paul’s testimony here would you like to have as your’s too?

Discussion Questions:1. Think fast! When I say “Idolatry”, what comes to mind?2. In the message it was noted that we never break commandments 2-10 without breaking the 1st. How do you respond to that statement?3. In Colossians 3:1-5 Paul calls us to set our hearts and minds on things above. Do you have any habits or practices that help you do that in everyday life?4. Share your reaction to Tim Keller’s statement, “Like Abraham, you could take a walk up into the mountains. You could say, ‘I see that you may be calling me to live my life without something I never thought I could live without. But if I have you, I have the only wealth, health, love, honor and security I really need and cannot lose.”
