Questions for Discussion and Reflection:

4.28.2025 – Be Alive: (Re)vive
2 Corinthians 5:13-19

  1. Paul talks about being “out of his mind” for God and “in his right mind” for others. When you think about your own faith, where do you experience the tension between personal devotion and living thoughtfully for the sake of others? What does it mean to be fully surrendered to God in a way that may not always make sense to the world?
  2. In what ways has experiencing Christ’s love changed the way you see yourself and the people around you?
  3. Paul describes believers as a “new creation” in Christ. What does being part of God’s “new creation” mean to you personally? Where do you see signs of new life in your own story right now?
  4. Paul seems to contrast private devotion (“for God”) with public witness (“for you”). How do you balance your private spiritual experiences with your public life of faith? Are there ways your faith expression could be more mindful of the people around you?
  5. This passage invites us to no longer view others “from a human point of view.” What would it look like for you to see someone in your life through the eyes of resurrection and new creation this week?

4.21.2025 – Be Alive: (Re)joice
Philippians 4:4-9

  1. What does rejoicing look like in your life right now? How do you practice joy—even in seasons of stress or uncertainty?
  2. Where might God be inviting you to respond with gentleness this week? What does gentleness look like in a world that often values strength and speed?
  3. Paul speaks of a peace that “guards our hearts and minds.” What helps you feel that peace? How can you make space for that peace to grow?
  4. Pastor Jad reminds us that God’s truth can show up in unexpected places. Where have you encountered goodness, truth, or beauty outside traditional “church” settings recently?
  5. What are you filling your mind with this week? How might intentionally focusing on the good shift your perspective or your spirit?
  6. How does Easter continue to shape your everyday life now that the big celebration has passed? What does it mean for you to be alive in this season?
