“Believe in His Name” 
John 1:10-12 
Dr. Mathew P. John, Senior Pastor 
 
About our Series 
We will explore three core values that are foundational building blocks of community formation. We will walk through a “discipleship pathway,” which starts with BELIEVING in Jesus’ name. Those who believe in His name become the children of God(John 1:12). Children BELONG to the family, as a brick belongs to the building (Ephesians 2:20-22), an organ belongs to the body, and a branch belongs to the vine (John 15:5-8). Those who belong in the family of God are called to a journey to being transformed into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). This process of BECOMING His image in the world is an ongoing journey where we identify with Jesus both in His suffering and glory.

January 1, 2023 | Believe In His Name | John 1:12

Review the Sermon: Read Deuteronomy 34:1-12 
 
- What stood out to you this week from Pastor Mathew’s sermon? 
 
- In talking about Moses’ journey which culminated in not being able to enter the Promised Land, Pastor Mathew said that the Presence of God can make even the desert feel like a Promised Land. In other words, the most difficult life circumstances can feel like a promised land if God is present. When have you experienced this to be true? 
 
Dive Into the Scripture: 
 
- How would you feel if you were Moses, unable to enter into the Promised Land after coming so far? 
- In verse 9 we learn that “Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him.” What does it mean to be filled with the spirit of wisdom? 
 
- Take a moment to examine these passages from Acts in which people laid their hands on others— Acts 6:1-6; 9:1-19; 13:1-3. What do we learn about the “laying on of hands” from these passages? (Who does it? What happens?) How does this help us understand more fully what happened with Joshua? 
 
Live It Out: 
 
- Take a moment to read Hebrews 11:24-26. How can you live like Moses this holiday season, choosing to be mistreated with God’s people at the margins instead of enjoying the “fleeting pleasures of sin” with those in power? 
 
- How can you cultivate gratitude this Thanksgiving week, knowing that God has already invited you into the Promised Land of His Kingdom?

Review the Sermon: Numbers 21:4-9 and John 3:14-16 
 
• What stood out to you from the sermon this week? 
 
Dive into Scripture: Read Numbers 21: 4-9 
 
• Why did the Israelites grumble against God in the wilderness? (Option: Look up other times the Israelites grumbled—Ex 15:22-24, 16:2-3, Nu 11:4-6, 14:1-4. Do you notice a theme?) 
 
• When have you acted in a similar way, impatient with God because of His timing or plans? 
 
• How did God heal people from the snake bites? Why do you think He healed them in this unique way? 
 
Live It Out: 
 
• Pastor Mathew shared 2 Kings 18:4 with us, which says that this symbol used to bring about God’s healing (the bronze serpent) was later worshiped as an idol. What once healed them became a stumbling block for sin. What are some examples of gifts that God has given us (traditions, ideologies, books, blessings, etc…) that could potentially turn into idols? 
 
• Read John 3:14-18. How does the story from Numbers 21, and Jesus’ reference to it in John 3:14-15, help us to more fully understand Christ’s iconic words in John 3:16? As the holidays approach, who needs to hear this message of God’s love and grace?

“Being Holy” 
Leviticus 20:7-8, 26; I Peter 1:16-19 
Dr. Mathew P. John, Senior Pastor 
 
About the Message 
God provides detailed instructions for temple rituals in the book of Leviticus. The priests have the sacred duty to mediate between God and man with strict obedience to every letter of the law. Two of Aaron’s sons become guilty of lighting a ‘strange fire’ and are consumed by the same fire. 
 
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION AND PERSONAL DEVOTION 
 
Review the Sermon: Read Leviticus 20:7-8, 26 
• In what way is the book of Leviticus relevant to Christians? 
• Why is Holiness more about “where you are being” rather than “what you are doing”? 
• What are the words used to describe the opposite of Holy? What are their implications? 
 
Dive into the Scriptures: Read 1 Peter 1:13-25 
• What does it mean for God to be holy? What does it mean for us to be holy? 
• How does Peter describe our old way of life in verses 14 and 18? What did/does it look like for us to “conform to evil desires,” to live “in ignorance,” and to live “the empty way of life handed down from your ancestors…”? 
• In verses 22- 23, what is the relationship between holiness and obedience? What is the relationship between holiness and being “born again”? How about between holiness and love? 
 
Live it Out: 
• What obstacles keep us from becoming more holy? 
• What are some of the “empty” ways of life and broken patterns that we often inherit from our families? How can we break free from this generational brokenness in order to step into a new, holy way of life? 
• The Hebrew word for “Holy” is kadosh, which can be translated as “set apart.” What have we as Christians been set apart for? How then do we become more holy?

“The tabernacle was built with threads, 
The temple was built with stones, 
The Church is being built with living stones of human souls.” 
 
Review the Sermon: 
Read Exodus 40:33-38 and 1 Peter 2:4-10 
 
• What is the difference between the tabernacle, the temple, and a synagogue? 
• Read Revelation 21:3. How does the church reflect the tabernacle of God with men in this passage? 
• How does the church become a construction site for eternity? 
 
Dig into Scripture: 
This week we will be stepping away from Exodus in order to study the 1 Peter passage, which talks about our identity as living stones in God’s Holy Temple. 
 
• What does it mean that we are like “living stones [who are] being built into a spiritual house…” (vs. 5)? 
• What are some examples of “spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (vs. 5)? (Option—check out Romans 12:1-2 for more on “sacrifice.”) 
• Take a moment to break down how believers are described in verse 9. What does it mean to be a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession? What implications does this have on our daily life and our relationships with other Christians? 
 
Live it Out: 
 
• How is God shaping, chiseling, hammering, and molding you as one of his “living stones”? 
• In Ephesians 2:19-22, Paul uses the same metaphor that Peter used for the church, saying that we are being built together to become a holy temple in the Lord. Then in Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul gives the implications of what that means. Take a moment to read Eph 4:1-6 and talk about how we can live it out this week.

"If we neglect the sequence of the commandments, we will end up worshipping our neighbors instead of God." 
 
Read Exodus 20:1-17 and Mark 12:28-31 
 
Review the Sermon: 
 
• How does Jesus summarize the Ten Commandments in Mark 12:28-31? 
• What is the definition of Good News? 
 
Dive into the Scripture: 
 
• Why does God reference the Israelites’ slavery in Egypt before giving the Ten Commandments? 
 • How do we understand the Jealousy of God? 
 • God tells the Israelites in Ex 20:3-4 that they should have no other gods before Him and should not bow down to idols. Yet just a few chapters later, they worship a golden calf and go against everything God had commanded them. Take a moment to read Exodus 32: 1-8. 
 - Why did the Israelites make this golden calf? 
 - The Israelites made the golden calf from the gold earrings God had made the Egyptians give them while leaving Egypt (Ex 12:33-36). 
 - What is the significance of making an idol from these items? 
 - In what ways do we also make idols out of the blessings and gifts God has given us?

“What Is It?” 
Exodus 16:13-15 
Beth Paz, Director of Young Adult Ministries 
 
About the Message: 
God sustains His people by providing them food from heaven and water from the rock. They ate heavenly food every day for 40 years. Miraculously, when Joshua and the people came to the border of Canaan and ate the food of the Promised Land, the heavenly manna stopped the next day and was never seen again. God told Moses to save a jar of manna so future generations could see how the Lord provided for his people in the desert. 
 
 
Review the Sermon: 
Read Exodus 16:1-15 
 
• What stood out to you from the sermon this week? 
• Pastor Beth talked about the difference between demanding expectations of God vs. waiting expectantly for Him to move. She quoted Pfifer and Chung: “Expectations demand a certain result; expectancy trusts and hopes… Expectations force God into a box to act as we want; expectancy allows God to be God in our lives, activating on his own will.” What does it look like to let go of our expectations and instead live in anticipation of what God will do? 
 
Dive into the Scripture: 
 
• What do the Israelites grumble about in the desert in verse 3? Why is “grumbling” such a part of the human experience? In what areas of your life you do find yourself grumbling? 
 
• What is God’s response to the Israelites’ complaints? What does that tell us about God? 
 
• How did God provide for his people in the desert? What do you think the Israelites learned through this provision? 
 
Live it Out: 
 
• The Israelites had to unlearn their propensity to grumble and their need for control. The wilderness was a “Classroom of Unlearning” for them. What are you “unlearning” in this season? 
 
• God invited His people to go out each morning and gather up manna in the wilderness. He could have delivered a full course meal on each of their doorsteps 3 times a day without them having to do any work, but instead, he invited them into a new practice in the midst of the desert chaos. What practices or rhythms remind you of God’s faithfulness in the midst of chaos? What new practices might help you to wait expectantly on His Provision? 
 
Prayer: 
 
• In what areas of your life do you need God to provide this week?

 - Why are the Jews called “chosen” people? 
 - What is the initiation rite of the chosen one? 
 - What is the burning bush of the New Testament? Why? 
 
Dive into Scripture: 
 - What does God call Moses to do, and what is Moses’ response? When have you felt like Moses did, overwhelmed and ill-equipped for His call on your life? 
 - When Moses asks God what His name is, He says, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” (Ex 3:14). What does it mean that God is “I AM?” When have you experienced God as the great “I AM”?

About the Message 
The Greatest Story Ever Told in the Jewish tradition is Exodus. It is inherently connected to the Greatest Story Ever Told in the Christian tradition through the Passover lamb, sacrificed once and for all on the cross. 
 
Discussion Questions: 
1. How is the exodus story relevant to our spiritual journey? 
2. What is the Substance represented by the Sign (Passover) and the Symbol (Cross)? 
3. When you read this familiar passage, what feels confusing, shocking, or hard to understand? 
4. Read Exodus 12:1-28. This passage seems to alternate between instructions to Israel for the first Passover in Egypt, as well as instructions to future generations about how to commemorate this important moment in Israel’s history. What is the purpose of celebrating the Passover in years to come? What does the Passover communicate to us about God? 
5. How is following God’s calling like following the cloud? Share about a time when following God’s calling felt like following a cloud.
