Join us for 9 am Worship as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon entitled, “Good or Bad.” Below are questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
Scripture: Luke 8:26-39
Although the man was healed, the locals asked Jesus to leave because they were afraid.
- When do we allow our fear to blind us from celebrating the changes happening in others?
- When do we focus too much on our desires and miss the miracles happening around us?
- What might life have been like for the man who was healed when he followed Jesus’ command to proclaim what Jesus had done throughout the city?
- What has Jesus done for you? How do you proclaim this good news to others?
God’s Word Is Proclaimed
Psalm Reading: Psalm 22:19-28 (Common English Bible)
