OIKOS Pt. 2: UP-IN-OUT (Jan. 27, 2019)
THIS WEEK: As we model our lives after Jesus, we see a rhythm of live that revolves around 3 relationships: with God (UP), with His own community (IN), and with those in the world (OUT). These values are expressed through our 3 Pillars of Engagement: devotion, community, and mission. This week, we will take a deeper look at what each of these relationships mean so that we can pattern our lives after the way Jesus lived. Want a quick summary? Watch this…
READ VERSES: Luke 4:31-44 Think about the way Jesus interacts “up, in, and out.“
LISTEN: Songs we sing in a Spotify Playlist.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
1. How do you personally engage your heart, mind, soul, and body with the living God, in community, and through mission? Are you growing stronger in these areas? Are you intentional or do you simply hope you will grow stronger in these areas?
2. Think of your environments: How are you engaging through Sunday Gatherings, House Church, or through transformation groups of 2-3 people? If you want to start a Transformation Group within your House Church or with someone you know, go to the Connection Center in the CGNE lobby for a Life Transformation Group (LTG) printed pamphlet or check out a PDF below.
3. Think of your time: How can you build rhythms into your life that connect you to God daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonally?
4. What is God telling you? What do you think God might be asking you to adjust about your spiritual life? What can you change THIS week?
