Over the next few weeks, we are going to be talking about parenting, and parents. We all have one or both!
Each week may or may not be appropriate for your group to tackle in terms of further study on the messages themselves. Use discernment and decide based on where and who your group is, collectively.
You may use the generic discussion guide this Sunday as we launch into the series. Jonathan will be helping us in regard to parenting with the simple concept of beginning with the end in mind. Simple, yet so often overlooked. We work this way very well in other areas, but when it comes to parenting- we can many times find ourselves at a loss as to how that would play itself out. You may or may not find your group set to discuss and wrestle with those ideas in your group next week.
You may also find that that your people want to talk about Haiti and the land we're going after.
Don't forget, this Sunday we will be taking part in a pretty significant moment in history. Our offering is always significant- what we do week to week, and what we give each Sunday, does great Kingdom things. But this week, as we come together to raise the $385,000, it's clear that the bag being passed will carry a little extra weight than normal (literally, and figuratively!) Please, please, please- for our community and for souls in Haiti we have yet to even meet- be especially prayerful that we make way for God to do what He does in and through His church.
We know that Crosspointe is marked by the transformation Christ brings- and so this is exactly the kind of opportunity we should expect to be invited into as the reverberations of our faith stretch outward.
So- plenty to discuss, no matter what angle you take. Thanks for all you do.
Steve
